1. Bring 1 Litre of water to a rapid boil.

The sago will still continue to bubble but as the heat is off there is no need to stir.

4. Let it sit for 5 minutes.

5. Stir the sago and turn the heat back on full for 1 more minute then turn the heat off and let it sit until the pearls are translucent ~10 minutes. Don't worry if you have a few pearls that are still white in the middle.

4. Pour the sago into a sieve and rinse under runnng water until the pearls have cooled.Allow the excess water to drain off and you are left with the perfect pearls.

5. Make a sugar syrup using 4 Tbs of sugar in 400ml of hot water (or to taste)Let the sugar dissolve and then cool the sugar syrup in a fridge.

6. Peel the grapefruit, remove the pith (a la supreme) and then break the segments into small chunks.

7. Cut the mango cross hatched and scoop out flesh with a spoon.

8. Combine the sago, sugar syrup, coconut milk , mango and grapefruit.
