Soak the tapioca pearls overnight in an oven tray filled with water.

Bake the soaked tapioca pearls in the oven covered in foil at 160 degrees for about 90 minutes until transparent.

Melt 4 cups of raw sugar in a pot, stirring with a wooden spoon until it bubbles.

Remove the pot from heat, add 1 cup of water, and mix in the coconut cream to form caramel.

Add the lemon rind for flavor, then remove it after a short time.

Once the tapioca is cooked and cooled, scoop it into a bowl.

Pour the caramel mixture over the tapioca and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon.

Refrigerate for about an hour before serving.
