Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g short-grain rice
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 600 ml almond milk
- 50 ml maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 pinch of salt
- 100 g fresh berries (optional)
- 50 g chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the short-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Stir in the rinsed rice, cinnamon stick, and vanilla extract into the simmering milk mixture.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid. Allow the rice to cook slowly, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for about 30-35 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Once the rice is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick. Stir in the maple syrup for sweetness.
Let the milchreis sit for 5 minutes allowing it to thicken further.
Serve warm, topped with fresh berries and chopped nuts for added texture and flavor, if desired.
