In a mixing bowl, combine tapioca flour, sugar, and salt.
Add coconut milk
Gradually add coconut milk, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
Rest the batter
Let it rest for 10 minutes to thicken slightly.

Slice guava and cheese
Slice the guava paste and cheese into even-sized pieces.
Ensure guava paste and cheese are thinly sliced for even melting.
Prep mint leaves

Ready honey

Making the Waffles
Preheat the waffle iron and pour the batter to cook until crispy.
Melt the Cheese and Guava
