Ingredients

• 0.75 cup brown rice
• 4 cups unsweetened rice milk
• 2 tablespoons stevia or another natural sweetener
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
• 0.25 cup chopped almonds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the brown rice under cold water to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed brown rice with 4 cups of unsweetened rice milk.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring it to a gentle boil while stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered.

Step 5

Cook the rice milk mixture for about 45-50 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the rice is tender and the mixture thickens.

Step 6

Add stevia or your preferred natural sweetener, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the rice mixture. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

Step 7

If using, mix in the raisins and chopped almonds and let the pudding cook for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Once the desired consistency is reached, remove the pan from heat. Allow the pudding to cool slightly; it will thicken as it cools.

Step 9

Serve the rice milk pudding warm or chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours if you prefer it cold.

Step 10

Garnish with a dash of cinnamon and extra almonds if desired before serving.
