Ingredients

1 cup mango ripe and peeled
2 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk or use condensed coconut milk
2 tablespoon tapioca pearls small uncooked kind - don't use minute tapioca!
1 cup coconut milk full fat, room temperature
1 cup water cold
2.5 tablespoon white granulated sugar
4-6 ice cubes

Instructions

In a small pot filled halfway with water, bring to a boil on medium-high heat. Once it's boiling, add the tapioca pearls and reduce to medium heat. Boil for 10 minutes uncovered, stirring occasionally.
Then turn off the heat, cover and let the tapioca sit in the cooking water for another 10 minutes until they are softened and completely translucent. If you see a small white dot in the center, let them sit in the cooking water, covered, for another 2-3 minutes until fully translucent.
Strain the cooked pearls with a fine mesh sieve and rinse off the excess starch with cold running water until cool to the touch. Leave the cooked pearls submerged in water to prevent them from sticking. When you're ready to assemble the drink, strain them well.
Meanwhile in a blender, add mango and the sweetened condensed milk. Blend on high until completely smooth. Feel free to run this mixture through a fine sieve to remove mango fibers. Divide and spoon the mango mixture into two (12-oz.) serving glasses.
Then add equal portions of the strained tapioca into each glass. Add 2-3 ice cubes into each glass and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, cold water, and sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Pour the coconut liquid into each glass. Mix to enjoy!
