Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

Method
 

Preparation

  2. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally for about 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
Finishing

  3. Serve warm or chilled, as desired.

Notes

Rice pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat leftovers until steaming but be mindful of the texture change. Best served warm during colder months.
