  • ice cubes For serving

Equipment

  • 1 Large pot For boiling sago

Method
 

  1. Boil the tapioca pearls in water while stirring constantly so they do not stick.

  3. Rinse the cooked sago under cold water until cool to remove excess starch.
  4. Mash half of the diced mango in a bowl until the texture is smooth.

Notes

Rinse the cooked sago pearls thoroughly with cold water to remove excess starch. I learned this step prevents the pearls from clumping together and ruining the smooth consistency.
