Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice
  • 1 3/4 cups water for making the rice
  • 6 cups milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 tablespoons corn starch

Instructions

  • If you already have leftover rice, skip this step. If not, bring water to a boil in small pot, then add cup of rice. Cover the pot with a lid, and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for around 15-20 minutes or until the water has been absorbed by the rice and rice is tender. Set aside.
  • Heat the milk in large pot on medium heat. Once the milk has started to heat, remove around a half cup of milk into a bowl and mix in the corn starch until it has turned into liquid and there are no lumps.
  • Add the milk and cornstarch back into the milk and stir.
  • Add the cooked rice and sugar into the milk and boil for 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and either serve warm with cinnamon on top or refrigerate till chilled and serve cold. Enjoy!

Notes

Want to try a different milk? Go for it! Want to some nutmeg on top with the cinnamon? Sounds delicious. Tailor this recipe to fit whatever you (and your family) are feeling hungry to eat!
