Cooking the Tapioca

D.Schmidt
Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and, stirring occasionally to keep tapioca from sticking, continue cooking for 12-15 minutes. (Tip: if the tapioca is too thick to cook easily, add a little more water)

After 15 minutes, most of the tapioca seeds will be translucent (as shown). Remove pot from heat and cover with a lid. Let sit until tapioca is warm (not hot) - 10 to 30 minutes. Any remaining tapioca that are hard will soften.
