Cinnamon Stick Rice Pudding with Raisins
Ingredients:
8 Bigelow®
Cinnamon Stick Tea Bags
2 ¼ cups hot water
1 cup short grained brown rice
2 cups skim milk
1/3 cup sugar
½ cup raisins
½ cup almonds, roughly chopped (optional)
Yield: Serves 4
Instructions:
This extra flavorful twist on a classic is a great
fall dessert. If you cannot find brown short grained rice (usually
available in health food stores), it is fine to substitute white
rice, or the medium or long grained varieties.
Steep tea bags in hot water water for 3-5 minutes. Remove tea
bags, being sure to squeeze thoroughly. Pour into a medium sauce
pan, add rice, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and
continue to cook covered, until tea is absorbed (approximately 30
minutes).
Add milk and sugar to pan, stir to combine, and return to a boil.
Reduce to a low simmer and continue to cook uncovered for
approximately 20 minutes. Be sure to stir frequently, especially
toward the end of the cooking time.
Once the rice mixture has absorbed most of the milk, add the
raisins and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture into 4 ramekins
or tea cups. If desired, top with chopped almonds.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
For longer storage, cover with plastic wrap and place in
refrigerator for up to 3 days
