Hi Lauren!

I got mine in Stop & Shop, a regular ol’ supermarket. I don’t think there are any in Manhattan, but there is one in Long Island City. I hope that helps!

Hi!

I see you used large pearl tapioca. I’ve been trying to find someplace in NYC that sells large-pearl, but most only sell small-pearl or instant. Do you know where I could find large-pearl? Where did you get yours?

(I see that I could buy it online, but I want to use it for a recipe this weekend and don’t think it’ll ship here in time…)

Thanks! Any help would be most appreciated.

Update: I was at an Asian mart with a friend over the weekend and I picked up some Tapioca Pearls.

Bubble tea post coming soon!

We call this pearl by SAGU here and there is a way we make it (specially in the South reagion here thats a lot more colder) with red wine – thats awsome!!! I will try to get a good recipe and send you.

Haha Amanda! Great minds think alike. But hey, it wasn’t for me, and momma dukes enjoyed it so thats all that matters!

Carina, I don’t really see why not. The tapioca itself is a thickening agent, so I can’t imagine the lack of lactose (haha) would do any harm. If you try it, please let me know and I’ll edit the recipe accordingly.

Could I use lactose free milk instead of regular milk?? Will it come out the same??
Thanks!

I think I’m with you on the tapioca pudding feeling. I’m sure it’s lovely but I’m not into it. Bubble tea is pretty tasty though!

And bravo on the new color. I love mixing colors like that. It looks great on you.
