Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams short-grain rice
- 400 milliliters coconut milk
- 400 milliliters almond milk
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 pinch salt
- 100 grams fresh berries (optional, for serving)
- 5 grams mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the short-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon stick, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Once it reaches a simmer, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid.
Cook the rice mixture on low heat for about 25-30 minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
After about 20 minutes, check the rice for doneness. The desired consistency should be creamy, and the rice grains should be tender.
If the mixture looks too thick, you can add a little more almond milk, a tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Remove the cinnamon stick and discard it.
Divide the vegan milchreis among serving bowls and top with fresh berries and mint leaves if desired.
