/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Hey /ck/, this is my first post here.

I'm making bubble tea and was wondering, is there a way to get the tapioca pearls to last longer? They begin to break down after 6 hours, it seems. I want them to be able to retain their consistency and not affect the flavor of the tea, so that they can stay in a refrigerated bottle for longer.

So someone could, say, open the bottle in the fridge and drink it a week from now, with the same quality it had when first made.

Any ideas?
