Instructions

Add blueberries, 1 cup of water & sugar to a saucepan.

Once the blueberries are super soft, mash them with a fork.

Use a fork to squish out any remaining liquid from the blueberries.

Add tapioca pearls to a pan full of boiling hot water.

Let simmer for about 5 minutes until desired consistency.
