    Prepare the Tapioca

    In a medium saucepan, combine tapioca pearls with 3 cups of water and soak for 30 minutes. After soaking, drain and rinse the pearls.

  2. 2

    Cook the Tapioca

    In the same saucepan, add the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then add the drained tapioca pearls. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pearls are translucent. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Pineapple

    Make the Guava Sorbet
