Very traditional, very comforting! Rather don't use tapioca, which is similar but has much larger "beads" or grains. Tapioca would need soaking overnight.

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups milk
1 cup sago
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg or 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar

5 tablespoons apricot jam
