Step 1
In a medium pot, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add the 0.5 cup tapioca pearls and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they turn translucent with no white center, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Drain the pearls and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
Step 3
In the same pot, combine the 1 can coconut milk, 3 tbsp sugar, and 2 cups water. Heat over medium, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot but not boiling, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Divide the cooked tapioca pearls, 1 cup jelly cubes, 1 cup sweet potato balls, and 0.5 cup green jelly bits among 4 serving bowls.
Step 5
Ladle the warm coconut milk mixture over each bowl. Serve immediately, or chill for 30 minutes for a cold version.
