- 1 can Regular Coconut Milk 13.5 oz

Instructions
- Make the tapioca according to the package instructions. Usually, the best method is to boil the tapioca until it is almost translucent, then remove it from the heat, cover with a lid very well, then steep the tapioca pearls until they are completely translucent.½ cup uncooked small tapioca pearls, 5 cups Drinking Water
- Once the tapioca is done, strain it and then put it in cold, iced, drinking water. Set aside.
- Clean, very well, the strawberries. Cut the stems off. Slice the strawberries uniformly into small bite sizes. Save a handful of strawberries and put those aside.
- Put a lot of ice cubes into a large serving bowl. Do not use small ice shavings since they will melt too quickly.4 cups Ice cubes
- Add the strawberries.1 pound fresh Strawberries
- Then add the tapioca or sago pearls. Strain the tapioca very well before adding.
- Next, add the coconut milk, condensed milk, and evaporated milk or almond milk. Please note, if the coconut milk is separated, heat it in the microwave or stove to combine and whisk the coconut milk until it is well blended.1 can Regular Coconut Milk, 1 cup Milk of Choice, 1 can Condensed Milk
- Add the dash of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix very well.¼ tsp Vanilla Extract, Small Pinch of Salt
- Now, take your blender cup and add that handful of strawberries you had set aside. Then pour 3/4 cup of milk of choice into the blender cup.
- Blend until smooth.
- Layer your strawberry sago in a cup by adding a few scoops of the blended strawberry, then the strawberry sago mixture on top. Add a few extra strawberries as topping if you like. Serve with a tall spoon.You can also put the blended strawberry mix right into the punchbowl and serve everything mixed together.
Notes
Notes
- I use drinking water to make the tapioca/sago pearls. It will taste clean and much better.
- Use ice cubes and not ice shavings so the ice will last and not dilute the mixture.
- Heat the coconut milk if it was separated. This way your coconut milk is stirred smooth, even, and creamy.
- Serve right away or freeze leftovers.
- You can use small or big tapioca pearls.
