All ingredients into a saucepan and stir.

The mixture will thicken as it cooks and the tapioca will swell. It’s cooked when the tapioca is soft, you might need to add a little extra water if it becomes too thick.

Don’t boil, let it cook slowly and even turn the heat off and leave as the tapioca needs to absorb the liquid, just like cook rice.
