Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring water to a rolling boil in a medium pot over high heat.

    Stir in tapioca pearls and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pearls turn translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in coconut milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth and combined.

  4. Step 4

    Simmer for 1 minute, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  5. Step 5

    Divide into bowls and serve warm or chilled. The che will thicken as it cools.
