Add the tapioca and stir to combine then continue cooking until the mixture is almost clear. Now add the grape juice and sugar and continue cooking until the tapioca is completely clear.
Keep stirring all the while then add the salt and remove the spice bag. Take off the heat and as it cools add the lemon juice. Serve cold in chilled bowls. You can also add a dollop of yoghurt or some ice cream before serving.
