• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 cup ice cubes
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Once boiling, add tapioca pearls and stir gently until they float to the top.

Reduce heat to medium and cover the pot. Let the pearls simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
