    Can I use 350ml thick coconut milk instead of adding 150ml water into the coconut milk, I prefer more coconut fragrance. Why soak tapioca in water for 4hrs. Thanks, Victoria

    • no, please do not use 350ml coconut milk.

      without getting into too much details ~ the purpose of soaking tapioca is to allow the cyanogenic glycosides (cyanide) to dissolve (not sure if i got the translation right). in chinese, we say 氰苷溶解. if tapioca is not prepared correctly, we can get cyanide poisoning.

      you can google to find out more in case you are keen to read about this. hope this helps.
