A healthy dessert! Rhubarb is packed with vitamins & minerals and is a source of fibre. Using tea as the base to cook the rhubarb in adds extra flavour. It is low in calories and has a similar tart taste like green apples. This is a great dessert if you are trying to detox from sweets because you can control how much sugar you add. As your body gets used to less sweet things the less it craves. You can add fresh organic strawberries if desired.

1/4 cup quick cooking tapioca
4 tsp. Island Spice Fruit Tea or other Berry Fruit Tea
