Tips for Perfect Results
• Customize the Flavor: Swap strawberry jelly powder and essence for other flavors like mango, pineapple, or lychee.
• Tapioca Pearls: Ensure the pearls are cooked to perfection—soft and chewy, not hard or mushy.
• Sweetness Level: Adjust the condensed milk to your preferred sweetness.
Storage Options
• Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Stir before serving.
• Freezing: Not recommended as the tapioca pearls and jelly may lose their texture.
