Ingredients

- Sago pearls: 1/2 cup 120 ml
- Water: 3 cups 710 ml
- Milk full fat or almond: 2 cups (470 ml)
- Sugar: 1/4 cup 60 ml
- Vanilla extract: 1 tsp 5 ml
- A pinch of salt
- Fresh fruits like berries, bananas: for garnish

Instructions

Start by soaking the sago pearls in water for about 30 minutes.
In a large pot, bring the 3 cups (710 ml) of water to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and add in the soaked sago pearls.
Let them cook for about 20-25 minutes or until they turn translucent.
In a separate pot, heat the 2 cups (470 ml) of milk.
Add sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the milk and stir well.
Combine the milk mixture with the sago pearls once they're cooked.
Let it simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and let it cool.
Once cooled, the consistency should be like a pudding. If it's too thick, add a bit more milk.

Notes

1. Always soak sago pearls to ensure even cooking and a perfect texture.
2. Use full-fat milk for a creamier texture, but if you're health-conscious, almond milk works wonders too!
3. If you want to reduce sugar, you can substitute it with honey or maple syrup. However, remember to adjust the quantity as these can be sweeter.
4. While cooking the sago pearls, keep stirring to prevent them from sticking to the pot's bottom.
