Coconut Tapioca

Method

Preparation of Coconut Tapioca

1

Soak Tapioca Pearls

In a bowl, soak the tapioca pearls in water for about 30 minutes until they swell.

2

Cook Tapioca Pearls

Drain and rinse the soaked tapioca pearls. In a saucepan, combine the pearls, coconut milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the mixture thickens and the pearls become translucent (about 20 minutes).

3

Cool and Serve

Remove from heat and let it cool. Once cooled, it can be served warm or chilled.
