Tapioca Floats
Tapioca Floats are great in the summer when the weather's hot. So refreshing, they provide energy and a delicious, fun, healthy treat! Year round, we also love eating them, warm or cold, for breakfast! You can make the recipe the night before, put it in the fridge — and an instant breakfast or snack is ready for all.

Equipment
- saucepan
Ingredients
- 3 cups water filtered
- 1/4 cup granulated tapioca
- pinch or more sea salt to taste
- toppings: coconut milk or cream, raw milk or cream (if tolerated [not AIP]), maple syrup, herbal simple syrup, lightly sweetened herbal tea, herbal coffee, traditional coffee or espresso (not AIP)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring water and sea salt to a boil.
- Stir in the tapioca granules. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer.
- Cook for 13 to 15 minutes, stirring often, until most of the granules are transparent. (To cut down on this cooking time, I often stop stirring after 8 to 10 minutes, remove from heat, and cover for about 15 minutes; the steam finishes the cooking process.)
- Remove tapioca from heat and chill overnight or several hours until cold and set. (Or chill quickly by stirring into single servings small frozen berries, like blue, black or raspberries and pouring over the cold toppings mentioned.) Also great served warm with toppings.
- Ladle into bowls or glasses and top with desired float ingredients: milk of choice, sweetener, or water, tea, herbal coffee, coffee etc. Eat with a spoon or drink intermittently.
