Ingredients

• 200 grams short-grain rice
• 400 milliliters coconut milk
• 400 milliliters almond milk
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 pinch salt
• 100 grams fresh berries (optional, for serving)
• 5 grams mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the short-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon stick, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Once it reaches a simmer, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid.

Step 5

Cook the rice mixture on low heat for about 25-30 minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Step 6

After about 20 minutes, check the rice for doneness. The desired consistency should be creamy, and the rice grains should be tender.

Step 7

If the mixture looks too thick, you can add a little more almond milk, a tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 8

Remove the cinnamon stick and discard it.

Step 9

Divide the vegan milchreis among serving bowls and top with fresh berries and mint leaves if desired.
