green tea tapioca

Tapioca is one of my favorite dessert! Besides being delicious, tapioca is low in fat and calories while being loaded with calcium and protein. This dessert is definitely a winner! Here, I added a touch of matcha green tea, and it's sooo good!... if you love green tea! However, some people, like my boyfriend for example ;) , might think it has a hay taste...
Well, good! That makes more for me!!!
