Bring 50 ml water to boil.

In a separate pot add 1 tbsp of water and the sugar. Bring to boil and stir until the sugar caramelize.

Now quickly add the hot water and the caramel to the tapioca starch. Stir quickly and knead the dough (carefully - it will be hot) until it becomes very smooth.

Now form little, tiny bubbles with the dough - the smaller the better.

Boil the pearls in hot water for about 10-15 minutes and then add to your tea mixture.
