How to Make Lemon Sago
- Rinse 1/2 cup small sago pearls under cold water until water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sago, 4 cups of water, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and the zest and juice of 2 lemons.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the sago pearls are translucent and the mixture has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and let the sago cool completely. The mixture will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Once cooled, gently stir in 1/4 cup of heavy cream (optional, for extra richness).
- Pour the lemon sago into individual serving dishes or a large bowl.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sago to set completely.
- Before serving, top with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of lemon zest (optional).
