Please scroll down for English version

Moj prvi susret sa cuvenim perlicama...

Potrebno:
60 gr perli tapioce
500 ml mleka
80 ml meda
1 zumance
1 kasicica ekstrakta vanile
malo soli
rendana cokolada, prah cokolada

Priprema:
Perlice tapioce preliti sa oko 3,5 dl mleka, ostaviti da odstoje 1 sat pa dodati ostatak mleka. Nakon toga umutiti zumance, med, so i vanili ekstrakt.
Natopljenu tapiocu zagrevati na umerenoj temperaturi a kad prokuva smanjiti vatru i kuvati oko 15-ak minuta. Povremeno promesati.
Na kraju sipati smesu od zumanca i meda pa mesati dok se sve ne sjedini i ne skuva. Sipati u cinijice pa ostaviti sa strane da se ohladi ili servirati toplo.
Puding po zelji posuti cokoladom u prahu ili rendanom cokoladom, a moze i kombinacijom.

Puding od tapioce treba kuvati na laganoj vatri. Umesto mleka, puding se moze pripremiti sa kokosovim mlekom, kombinacijom mleka i slatke pavlake. Prilikom kuvanja u smesu se moze dodati malo cokolade, a moze se kombinovati i sa vocem... kombinacije su bezbrojne.
