1. Wash the tapioca pearls and let sit 15-20 minutes. For larger pearls, let sit one hour. They will soften, and swell, but should not be sticky.
2. Bring the coconut milk to a boil. Note: recipe works well with milk or almond milk as well.
3. Reduce heat to a simmer. Add tapioca, vanilla extract, saffron and lemon zest. Stir frequently to avoid tapioca sticking to bottom of pan.

Each dosha reflects a distinct metabolic nature and describes strengths & weaknesses in bodily function, and how these affect energy levels, digestion, susceptibility to disease, and many other tendencies.
Your metabolic nature not only affects your physical characteristics, but also influences your mental thought patterns, confidence, and enthusiasm.
Ayurveda balances these metabolic strengths & weaknesses to support your body's vitality and prevent recurrent disease cycles. This support is a critical aid, especially in chronic or incurable disease conditions.
The 3 metabolic body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Through dosha, Ayurveda empowers people to identify metabolic imbalances early, break repetitive patterns of disease, and cultivate habits that support long-term vitality and well-being.
Ultimately, these metabolic patterns also provide a framework for understanding yourself, including body, mind, and spiritual tendencies.
