Swamp Juice - N/A
Family Fun Magazine - 2009
Makes 8 servings
Ingredients
1/2 cup small tapioca pearls (found in the baking aisle of most grocery stores)
Food coloring (start with 2 or 3 drops)
4 Tbsp sugar
8 gummy fish
Seltzer water

For serving:
Mason jars
8 gummy worms
Sprite or Sparkling Raspberry Soda
Lemonade


Preparation
Make the tapioca "eggs": Bring 6 cups of water to a boil and add the tapioca pearls. Reduce the heat slightly and boil the pearls, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes.

Color the "eggs": Divide the pearls, with the remaining water, between two bowls. Add 4 drops of food coloring (as shown: 3 drops of yellow with 1 drop of green in one bowl, and 4 drops of blue in the other) and 2 Tbsp of sugar to each bowl. Stir the mixtures, then allow them to sit uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and rinse the pearls with cold water.

Assemble the drink: Spoon 2 Tbsp of pearls into each Mason jar and drop in a gummy fish. Nearly fill each glass with your choice of carbonated drink; add a splash of lemonade. Place a gummy worm around a spoon as shown and serve.
