Rainy Day Tapioca Pudding With Garden-Fresh Mint

I don't know about you, but in my book, rainy days are good days for comfort foods. Megan and I prepared a delicious Tapioca Pudding for dessert this evening. We've never made it before, but after a good spat in the kitchen between sisters and some frustration, my Mom declared it to be the best Tapioca pudding she has ever tasted! Not bad for a first time recipe.

We chose to put the pudding in individual ramekins to chill in the fridge. To serve, we garnished them with a spoon of whipped cream, cinnamon, and a sprig of mint.

Here is the link to the recipe on allrecipes.com which we followed:

Instead of using quick-cooking tapioca pearls as listed in the recipe, we used regular tapioca pearls which we pre-cooked. We also doubled the recipe, but found that using six cups of milk would be too much, so we used only four cups of the doubled amount.
