Girl A: Oh that is pretty easy. 嗯，听起来很简单嘛 Ń, tīng qǐlái hěn jiǎndān ma Girl B: And by the way, the tapioca pearls themselves have a lot of sugar, so you can always omit them. I suggest also going easy on the simple syrup and using low-fat milk. 顺便说一下，听说木薯珍珠本身也含有很多糖，所以你也可以不加。 我建议你也可以少用点糖浆和使用低脂牛奶。 Shùnbiàn shuō yīxià, tīng shuō mùshǔ zhēnzhū běnshēn yě hányǒu hěnduō táng, suǒyǐ nǐ yě kěyǐ bù jiā.

Let's try it! 其实，木薯珍珠不含什么糖。但是少用糖浆和换成低脂牛奶是个好主意。我们试试吧！ Qíshí, mùshǔ zhēnzhū bù hán shénme táng. Dànshì shǎo yòng tángjiāng hé huàn chéng dī zhī niúnǎi shìgè hǎo zhǔyì. Wǒmen shì shì ba!
