- 4 cups water
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

Directions
Step 1
Rinse the brown rice thoroughly under cold water in a fine mesh strainer.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the water is absorbed.
Step 4
Stir in the milk, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Cook for an additional 5 minutes on low heat, stirring often to prevent sticking, until the mixture is creamy.
Step 5
Taste the cereal and adjust sweetness with maple syrup, if desired.
