Brianna’s Rice Pudding

Directions

Rinse rice and soak overnight. Drain and set aside.

In a large pot, combine milk, cinnamon stick, and star anise. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes.

Strain out spices. Set aside 1 cup of the spiced milk and return the rest to the pot.

Add rice and sugar. Cook on low heat for 40-50 minutes, stirring occasionally until rice is tender. Use reserved milk as needed to prevent sticking.

Refrigerate cooked rice.

Garnish with cinnamon before serving.
