**4. Preparing Milk Tea**:

- In a separate container, mix the milk with sweetened condensed milk or sugar to taste. Adjust the sweetness to your preference.

**5. Assembling Strawberry Milk Bubble Tea**:

- Add a few cooked tapioca pearls to the bottom of a serving glass.

- Pour the strawberry puree over the pearls, filling the glass about one-third of the way.

- Add ice cubes on top of the strawberry layer.

- Pour the cooled tea over the ice, filling the glass to about two-thirds full.

- Carefully pour the sweetened milk on top of the tea, leaving some space at the top.

- Gently stir to combine the layers.

**6. Serving**:
