Mocha Tapioca Pudding

One day while eating some tapioca, it go me thinking about what other flavors of tapioca could I make. I have only ever made the recipe on the box of minute tapioca. The first flavor that came to my mind was a mocha tapioca.

This tapioca was fantastic! The chocolate flavor is amazing with a subtle coffee flavor.
