Halloween Fun-Swamp Juice

We made the most of Family Fun magazine this month and the kids loved it. We even shared swamp juice with cousins, uncles, aunts, and grandma and grandpa when we visited for Laura's baptism. So we can enjoy it next year, here's the recipe, adjusted to our liking:

• 1/2 cup small tapioca pearls
  
• Food coloring
• 4 tablespoons sugar

• 8 gummy fish
• Apple juice or white grape juice (apple was our favorite)
  
• 8 gummy worms

MAKE THE 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 (we used 3 drops of yellow and 1 drop of green in one bowl, and 4 drops of blue in the other) and 2 tablespoons of sugar to each bowl. Stir the mixtures, then allow them to sit uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes. When ready to serve, drain and rinse the pearls with cold water.
ASSEMBLE THE DRINK: Spoon 2 tablespoons of pearls into each glass (clear glasses for the best effect) and drop in a gummy fish. Fill the glasses with juice. Place a gummy worm around a spoon as shown.
