Ingredients

• 1 cup Brown rice (short-grain recommended)
• 2 cups Water
• 2.5 cups Milk (whole, almond, or coconut)
• 0.333 cup Sugar (granulated, brown, or coconut)
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.333 cup Raisins (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Butter (optional, for extra creaminess)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional, freshly grated)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and ensures a creamy pudding.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed brown rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the rice simmer for 25-30 minutes or until most of the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 4

Stir in the milk, sugar, cinnamon, and raisins (if using) into the cooked rice. Increase the heat slightly to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and cook the rice mixture uncovered, stirring frequently, for about 20-25 minutes or until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency. Be sure to stir often to prevent sticking or scorching.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, butter (if using), and nutmeg (if using). Taste and adjust sweetness or spices as needed.

Step 7

Transfer the pudding into serving bowls or a large dish. Allow it to cool slightly; it will thicken further as it cools.

Step 8

Serve warm or chilled, and optionally garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey. Enjoy!
