Soak tapioca overnight during on the brand.

Combine tapioca, milk, and salt and cook medium-high heat.

Don’t cover the pan while stirring occasionally.

Lower the heat and add sugar gradually, until the tapioca pearls plump up and thickened.

Stir occasionally so that the tapioca doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.

Beat eggs in a separate bowl. Mix in some of the hot tapioca very slowly to equalize the temperature of the two mixtures (to avoid curdling).

Return eggs to pan with tapioca. Increase the heat to medium and stir for several minutes until you get a thick pudding consistency.

Do not let the mixture boil or the tapioca egg custard will curdle. Cool 15 minutes.

Stir in vanilla. Serve either warm or chilled.
