Ingredients:

For the Tapioca Pearls:

• 1/2 cup tapioca pearls (boba)
• 4 cups water
• 1 tbsp sugar (optional)

For the Jelly:

• 1 pack flavored gelatin mix (use your favorite flavor like strawberry, mango, or orange)
• 2 cups boiling water
• 1/2 cup cold water

For the Fruity Drink:

• 2 cups fresh or canned fruit (mango, pineapple, lychee, or strawberries work well)
• 2 cups coconut water or fruit juice (like pineapple or lychee juice)
• 1/4 cup condensed milk (optional, for added creaminess)
• Ice cubes

Method:

1. Preparing the Tapioca Pearls:

• In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
• Add the tapioca pearls and stir to prevent them from sticking together.
• Boil for 15-20 minutes until the pearls become translucent and chewy.
• Remove from heat and drain. Rinse the pearls under cold water to stop the cooking process.
• If you want a little sweetness, toss the cooked pearls in 1 tbsp sugar. Set aside.

2. Making the Jelly:

• Prepare the flavored gelatin by following the package instructions. Generally, this involves dissolving the gelatin mix in 2 cups of boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved, and then adding 1/2 cup of cold water.
• Pour the mixture into a shallow container and refrigerate until set, which usually takes about 2 hours.
• Once firm, cut the jelly into small cubes.

3. Assembling the Drink:

• In a blender, combine 2 cups of fresh or canned fruit with 2 cups of coconut water or fruit juice. Blend until smooth for a fruity base.
• If you want a creamier drink, add 1/4 cup condensed milk to the blended mixture.
• Fill glasses with ice cubes, then divide the tapioca pearls among the glasses.
• Add a few spoonfuls of jelly cubes into each glass.
• Pour the fruity blended mixture over the tapioca and jelly until the glasses are filled.

4. Serve:

• Stir the drink gently to mix the tapioca pearls and jelly cubes with the fruit blend.
• Serve with wide straws so you can enjoy the chewy tapioca and the flavorful jelly with every sip!

Tips:

• You can experiment with different fruit combinations and gelatin flavors to make the drink unique every time.
• For a vegan version, use agar-agar in place of gelatin and opt for plant-based condensed milk or coconut cream.

Enjoy this colorful, fruity, and chewy Tapioca Jelly Drink that’s as fun to drink as it is delicious!
