Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup pearl tapioca
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 4 cups milk
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

  1. Soak tapioca in cold water overnight or for at least 3 hours.
  2. Heat milk until it is steaming, not boiling.
  3. Drain excess water from tapioca and add to the hot milk, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom with a wide flat utensil until it is steaming again-do not boil.
  4. Immediately reduce heat to very low, lower than the setting for cooking white rice, just hot enough to see a few vapors.
  5. Stir often the first few minutes then add the sugar and salt; and additional milk if needed.
  6. Check and stir the bottom of the mixture about every 5 minutes and add milk as needed to maintain a consistency similar to oatmeal cooking.
  7. Cook for about 45 minutes or until the tapioca pearls are translucent (no white specks in the center) and the mixture is sufficiently thickened.
  8. (Notes: One may thicken the hot sweetened milk and tapioca in a double boiler although a heavy saucepan is fine if given careful attention-this pudding will scorch easily if you're distracted! Should problems appear, immediately transfer to another pan; avoid and discard anything caramel or brown colored).
  9. When thickened and the pearls are translucent, stir in vanilla and transfer to a bowl or individual pudding cups.
  10. Cover and chill-serve with whipped cream and cinnamon or fruit.
  11. (Note: The pudding will thicken more as it chills).
