Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups water (you may need more, depending on your tapioca)
  • 1/2 cup small pearl tapioca
  • salt
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • very strong coffee or espresso, about 2 tablespoons per serving

Instruction

  • Bring water and salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Add tapioca, and reduce heat so it boils gently. Cook, stirring often, for 20-25 minutes, until tapioca is clear and mixture is thickened.
  • Remove from heat and add condensed milk, stirring to combine. Pour into small bowls or ramekins or coffee cups and set aside while you make the coffee. The tapioca will be very sweet at this point, but the coffee will correct that.
  • Pour about 2 tablespoons strong, hot, unsweetened coffee over each serving. Stir and enjoy.
