a drop Red food colouring
Cornstarch
Strawberry and Lime Syrup
1cup Diced strawberries
1/4cup White sugar

Instructions
Strawberry and Lime Syrup
Add strawberries and sugar in a small saucepan
Squeeze the juice from the lime wedges into the strawberries and place the skins in the pan too
Heat over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, stirring to prevent burning
Remove from heat and set aside
Pink Tapioca Pearls
In a medium sized bowl combine the tapioca starch and boiling water, stir until just combined then knead until smooth
Add the food colouring and knead until colour is spread evenly (if dough is too sticky you can add a little more tapioca starch)
Roll the dough into small balls, dusting with cornstarch as you go to prevent sticking
To cook place balls in a large pot of boiling water, cook until they float to the surface, then turn off heat and leave for 5 minutes (if you like them softer you can cook them for longer)
Drain and place in the strawberry/lime syrup
Assembly
In a glass place 3 heaped tablespoons of tapioca pearl/syrup mixture and ice
Squeeze in a wedge of lime, top with sparkling water
