Tapioca in the instant pot

 This is going to be an evolving recipe for a while until I figure out what actually works

1/3 cup tapioca pearls
3 cups milk
1/3 cup sugar

Put this all in the instant pot and pressure cook for 6 minutes, then do natural pressure release. This always takes way longer than I think so expect this to take ~an hour to be ready to eat

1 tsp caramel flavour
Pinch of salt 
1 egg

Put your instant pot in sauté mode and get ready to whisk. I normally beat my egg slightly in a bowl or my big measuring cup that’s already dirty for milk, then temper that egg by adding a bit of the hot liquid and whisking, then a bit more, then a bit more, until I see some steam coming off my egg mix. The you put that in the instant pot and whisk until it thickens up some. I usually like my tapioca to be a medium consistency but it will thicken up more as it cools 
Add in caramel and salt and whisk that in, then eat that delicious tapioca
