Cooking the Tapioca

D.Schmidt
Bring tapioca to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and, stirring occasionally to keep tapioca from sticking, continue cooking 20 to 30 minutes.

After 15 minutes, most of the tapioca seeds will be translucent (as shown). Continue cooking until all are translucent (5-10 more minutes). Remove from heat and let tapioca sit on the stove-top. If you'd prefer to serve your tapioca warm (good for winter!), your tapioca is ready to put together. If you prefer it cold (my personal favorite and great for the summer!), place pot in the refrigerator for a few hours until cold.
