Tapioca porridge For 2 people
Ingredients:
100g Tapioca pearls
400ml Water
2 tbs Sugar (palm sugar/cane sugar/brown sugar/coconut sugar)
½ tea spoon Cinnamon powder (optional)
You can add a handful of one or more of these options to the porridge:
crushed peanuts, sesame seeds, tahini paste, raisins, goji berry or other berries, coconut milk, cocoa powder.
For non vegans - you can add fresh milk to the porridge.
Instructions
1. Soak the tapioca for 15 minutes. (not a must do- it simply shortens the cooking time and it helps the tapioca not to stick to the bottom of the pot).
2. Rinse the tapioca and cook it with 400ml water for approximately 10 minutes on a medium flame. Stir every 3 minutes.
3. When the tapioca starts to absorb most of the water (after about 10 minutes), you can add all the rest of the ingredients.
4. Stir everything together. Then, turn off the gas, close the lid of the pot and let the tapioca sit there for 5 minutes.
Ready!!
You will figure out with practice the consistency that you like.
Play with the amount of water and spices until you find your own flavour.
