Preparation

  1. In a saucepan, combine the sugars with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil; then turn off the heat. In a pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add the tapioca and cook until tender, about 8 minutes if parboiled. Drain. Mix the pearls with the sugar mixture and chill.
  2. To make a drink, spoon the pearls into a large glass. In a blender, purée the ice, litchis, coconut milk, milk and lime juice. When smooth and frothy, pour over the pearls and stick in a straw.
