Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Jasmine rice
- 2 cups Water
- 2 units Chai tea bags
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 cup Heavy cream (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts or raisins (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the jasmine rice and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is fully absorbed. Remove from heat.
In a separate small saucepan, heat 1 cup of the milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and steep the chai tea bags in the milk for 5 minutes to infuse the flavor. Discard the tea bags.
Add the steeped milk to the cooked rice, along with the remaining 2 cups of milk. Stir in the sugar, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, vanilla extract, and salt.
Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, for about 20-25 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a creamy pudding-like consistency.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Remove the pudding from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Serve warm or chilled. Garnish with a drizzle of heavy cream and sprinkle with chopped nuts or raisins, if desired.
