Here’s a recipe for a delicious Fruity Tapioca Jelly Drink:
Ingredients:
For the Tapioca Pearls:

For the Jelly:

For the Drink:

- 1 cup coconut milk or any milk of your choice
- Fresh fruit pieces (optional, such as mango, strawberries, or kiwi)
- Ice cubes
Instructions:
Preparing the Tapioca Pearls:
- Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a pot.

- Reduce heat to medium and cook the pearls for about 10-15 minutes, or until they become translucent.
- Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for another 5 minutes.

Making the Jelly:
- Dissolve the fruit-flavored gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved.
- Add 2 cups of cold water to the mixture and stir well.
- Pour the gelatin mixture into a shallow dish and refrigerate until set, about 2-4 hours.
- Once set, cut the jelly into small cubes.
Assembling the Drink:
- In a large pitcher, combine the fruit juice and coconut milk (or your preferred milk).
- Add the cooked tapioca pearls and jelly cubes to the pitcher.
- Stir gently to mix everything together.
- If desired, add fresh fruit pieces to the mixture.
- Serve in tall glasses over ice cubes.
Tips:
- You can experiment with different flavors of fruit juice and gelatin to create unique combinations.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding sugar or honey to the fruit juice if needed.
- For a more colorful presentation, use multiple flavors of gelatin and layer them in the drink.
