Ingredients

4 servings

⅓ cup small pearl tapioca (not instant)
2 ½ cups whole milk
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.
