Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Tapioca pearls
- 4 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 cups Low-fat milk
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the tapioca pearls and stir gently to prevent sticking.
Allow the tapioca pearls to cook for 20 to 25 minutes until they become chewy. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once the pearls are cooked, drain them using a sieve and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
In the same saucepan, add the brown sugar, honey, and 1/4 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved into a syrup.
Add the tapioca pearls back into the saucepan, mixing them well with the brown sugar syrup until fully coated. Let them simmer in the syrup for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
To assemble the drink, divide the syrup-coated tapioca pearls between two tall glasses.
Pour 1 cup of low-fat milk into each glass over the pearls.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to each glass and stir gently.
Fill the rest of the glass with ice cubes.
Serve immediately with a thick straw to enjoy the tapioca pearls with the deliciously sweet, low-fat brown sugar milk mixture.
