Set your strainer over the sink, and gently pour the pearls in. Using lukewarm water, rinse the pearls thoroughly until the tacky layer is minimal.

Useful tips:
- Brown sugar syrup: On medium-high heat, combine equal amounts of water and brown sugar in a small stove-top pot. Using a whisk, stir and dissolve the sugar and water. Allow the syrup to come to a boil, then take it off the heat. Once the mixture has cooled completely, simply pour it over your pearls.
- Rinsing your pearls well will reduce the sticky texture(from the cooking process).
