Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Remember tapioca? It was certainly the butt of many a joke at my school. It does look like frogspawn, but it can make a damn fine dessert. In fact, in some parts of Asia, it is seen as quite luxurious.
100g tapioca, soaked in cold water for 30 minutes and drained
1.5-2ltr milk
60-80g caster sugar
250g raspberries
Put the tapioca in a saucepan with the milk and sugar, bring to the boil and simmer gently (a simmer plate is good for this) for about 30-45 minutes, stirring regularly, until the tapioca is tender and the liquid is thickened to a rice pudding-like consistency.
Remove from the heat and leave to cool, stirring as it's cooling. You can add some more milk during cooking if the mixture is too thick, and add some more sugar if you like it sweeter.
Blend about a quarter of the raspberries in a liquidiser until smooth. To serve, spoon the tapioca into bowls, mix the raspberries with the purée and spoon into the centre of the tapioca.
