50g tapioca pearls
500ml milk
50g sugar
1 egg (optional, for extra creaminess)
1 tsp vanilla extract
After 30 minutes of soaking in water, strain the tapioca pearls.
Pearls are added to heated milk in a pot and simmered on low heat until they become translucent (15–20 minutes).
Cook for five minutes after adding the sugar and, if using, the beaten egg.
Take off the heat, stir in the vanilla, and allow it to cool. Serve hot or cold.
