How to Cook Tapioca Pearls

I have received emails asking me how to cook tapioca pearls because when they cooked it, the result was not good.
So here is the simple and perfect way of cooking tapioca pearls.

We need:
1/2 kilo Tapioca pearls
3 litres water

uncooked tapioca

Procedure:
1 Put the water in a pot then bring to a boil.
2 When it is boiling, pour the tapioca  and stir very well to avoid it from sticking to each other.

3. Stir occasionally  while simmering until the tapioca pearls are all transparent, this means it's already cooked. Approximately 1 hour.

4. Turn off the heat, then drain and wash in running water.

This is now ready to be used for your recipes
