Equipment

  • Sauce Pan

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Long Grain White Rice
  • 4 Cup Almond Milk
  • 2 Cinnamon Sticks
  • 1 Slice Lemon Rind
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup

Instructions

  • Rinse and drain 1 cup of rice. Put rice in a saucepan and cover with water, just barely. Heat on medium heat, simmer, until the rice absorbs most of the water.
  • Add 4 cups of milk, cinnamon, lemon rind, and maple syrup. Continue to heat until simmering and stir FREQUENTLY until about half the liquid is absorbed.
  • Cover and put heat to low for 10-15 mins. Check periodically so that the rice doesn't burn.
  • When the rice is just slightly liquidy, remove from heat and let cool. The rice will thicken as it cools. Take that into consideration before removing from heat.
  • Serve warm with cinnamon on top or let cool slightly and mix some protein powder into it for added protein. You don't want to mix the protein in when it is hot, otherwise the whey will curdle.
