Put two pots of water on the stove to boil, one for the tapioca and one for the tea.

Pour 1 cup of tapioca pearls into a pot, cover and bring to a boil; boil for 5 mins on high. Leave lid of pot on. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 20 mins. Turn off heat and let sit for 5 mins.

Have a strainer and pot of ice water ready for the tapioca.
