Instructions

• 1 - Soak Tapioca Pearls:
  Rinse tapioca pearls under cold water until water runs clear. Soak in 1 cup water for 10 minutes to soften.
• 2 - Cook Tapioca:
  In a saucepan, combine soaked tapioca and coconut milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until pearls become translucent and the mixture thickens.
• 3 - Add Sweeteners & Spices:
  Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and vanilla extract if using. Continue cooking for 3-5 minutes until sugar is dissolved and spices well incorporated.
• 4 - Chill & Serve:
  Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Transfer to serving bowls and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes and pistachios before serving.
