Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup rice
  • 5 cups milk
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 T cornstarch or the appropriate amount for almost 5 cups liquid
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional: nuts, ground cardamom, cinnamon, saffron

Preparation

Step 1

Heat milk until it either gently boils or almost boils. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat to 1, the temperature next to "low," and put a lid on the pot. Stir occasionally for the next hour or so until the rice is done.

Step 2

Once rice is done, add sugar. Scoop up about a half cup of the rice mixture and put it in a glass bowl. Cool it with ice cubes. Then mix in the amount of cornstarch suggested on the box for approximately the amount of liquid remaining in the pot. Once the cornstarch is throughly mixed in the bowl, add more of the rice mixture to the bowl and mix it in. Keep doing so until the glass bowl or cereal bowl is nearly full. When it is, dump all the contents of the bowl back into the pot and stir well quickly. (This way the cornstarch doesn't mixes with the pudding, rather than just forming a lump by itself, or worse yet, many little lumps.) The mixture will thicken quickly. Then remove from heat and serve.

Buy organic rice. Rice tends to be heavily sprayed with pesticides and often contains arsenic.
