Notes
Tips: If you want you drink to be sweeter- just add some simple syrup from the tapioca pearls into your drink and stir!
You can store left over tapioca pearls in simple syrup in your fridge for a few days. They might dry out a big, but you can pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to soften up.
