Ingredients

4 servings

⅓ cup small pearl tapioca (not instant)
2 ½ cups whole milk
Chef's tip
Use the same amount of soy milk as regular milk. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in almost any recipe, including sauces, custards, and baked goods. In cold drinks or uncooked dishes you may notice a mild soy flavor.
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract

For serving

ground cinnamon, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the tapioca pearls and whole milk in a medium saucepan. Let them soak for 5 minutes — the pearls will begin to absorb the milk and soften slightly.
2
Stir in the sugar and salt. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture just comes to a gentle simmer, about 8–10 minutes.
