  • 2 cloves
  • rum optional
  • 50 grams tapioca coarsely ground
  • 400 milliliters milk
  • 100 milliliters warm water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder

Instructions

  • Cut mango into little pieces and remove seeds from guava. Put the fruits in a pan with orange juice.
  • Add a small piece of star anise and 2 cloves, rum and simmer on very low heat for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure that the bottom is not burning.
  • Leave to cool.
  • Add some warm water to the tapioca so that all the granules dissolve properly. See note 1.
  • Pour the tapioca into a pot and add milk, water, sugar, cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and let simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Let cool for about 10 minutes and in 3 dessert glasses, pour some of the tapioca mixture into the glasses. Fill the glasses about ⅓ way full.
