Step 1
Begin by placing the peeled and halved taro roots into a small pot, ensuring they are fully submerged in water.

Bring the water to a vigorous boil and let the taro cook until it reaches a tender consistency, which should take around 12 minutes.

Once cooked, drain the taro and transfer it to a bowl filled with ice to cool down.

Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.

Gently add the tapioca pearls, stirring occasionally until they begin to float.
Step 8
Allow them to cook for 12 to 15 minutes, then remove from heat, cover, and let them sit for an additional 12 to 15 minutes until they are tender.
Step 9
Drain the pearls and mix in the remaining 1 teaspoon of honey for a touch of sweetness.
Step 10
Finally, pour the luscious taro blend into two glasses and generously top each with the delightful tapioca pearls, creating a refreshing treat thatβs perfect for any occasion.

Enjoy the creamy goodness and chewy texture in every sip!.
