Preparation

Prepare a long espresso (approx. 170 ml) and leave to cool.

In a pot, bring water to a boil (at least 5 cups) and add tapioca pearls, stirring occasionally. Boil for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave to rest in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the white sugar and brown sugar with 1 cup (250 ml) of water. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Using a skimmer, drop the cooked tapioca pearls into the sugar water and let stand for at least 10 minutes. Put aside to cool.

In a bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and 2% milk.

Carefully pour into the glass in this order: the cooked tapioca pearls, the ice cubes, then the milk mixture, and top with the cold coffee.

Stir gently, and enjoy!
