  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Notes

For a smoother pudding, ensure that the tapioca is soaked thoroughly and stirred consistently while cooking to prevent sticking or burning. Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more sugar if desired, and feel free to garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or additional nutmeg before serving for extra flavor.
