Ingredients

• 1 cup white rice
• 2 cups water
• 2 cups coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup fresh fruit or berries
• 2 tablespoons optional honey or maple syrup for drizzling

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of water. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes or until most of the water is absorbed.

Step 4

Stir in the coconut milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt.

Step 5

Continue to cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for another 10-15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the mixture becomes creamy.

Step 6

Adjust the consistency by adding more coconut milk or water if needed.

Step 7

Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. The porridge will thicken as it cools.

Step 8

Serve the rice porridge warm, garnished with fresh fruit or berries of your choice.

Step 9

Drizzle with honey or maple syrup before serving, if desired, for additional sweetness.
