Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a roaring boil over high heat.

  3. Carefully drain the tapioca pearls using a fine mesh strainer and rinse them under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes.
  4. In a blender, combine half of the fresh strawberries, 1 can of coconut milk, 1 cup of milk, and 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam. Blend until smooth.
  5. Pour the blend over the cooked tapioca pearls, mixing well.
  6. Chop the remaining strawberries and fold them into the mixture along with 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk and 1/2 cup of coconut jellies.
  7. Serve immediately or refrigerate for about 1 hour for a refreshing experience.
