I was thinking of a nice chilled dessert, and came up with the idea of using tapioca. Ordinary iced cafe au lait is transformed into a little dessert!

There are many ways to rehydrate tapioca, but it's summer and I didn't want to stand over a hot stove, so I tried putting them in an electric hot water pot a thermal keep-warm function.
The ratio of iced coffee to milk is 1:1. If you make the coffee strong, you'll end up with a nice cafe au lait which won't be overwhelmed by the milk. Recipe by drip coffee

Steps

1

This time I rehydrated the tapioca by putting them into a hot water pot with a thermal keep-warm function (or a Thermos container). I put 30 g of tapioca in the pot with boiling hot water, and left it to soak overnight (7 to 8 hours).
2

Take the tapioca out of the pot, and place it in ice water.
3

Drain the tapioca. Put it in a container to soak in the sugar syrup. It's best to use them up on the same day, but they will keep for a few days in the refrigerator.
4

Put as much tapioca as you like and your favourite syrup in glasses.
5

Add the cold milk. Whisked milk is fine too.
6

Add the ice, then pour in the iced coffee. It will separate into two layers!
7

This is the non-whisked milk version. The two layers are clearly defined.
