200 ml Heavy cream or coconut cream for my vegans

Syrup

1 glass of water

½ glass of white sugar

½ glass of brown sugar

Boil 2L of water, then cook tapioca pearls for 30min over medium heat and let it sit for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile boil the water for black tea and let the tea infuse, the tea should be cold for the final recipe.

For the syrup, heat brown sugar, white sugar and water in a saucepan until you get a syrup (about 2 minutes).

Coat cooked tapioca pearls with prepared syrup.
