In addition to being a tasty breakfast beverage, rice water also helps quell abrupt evening hunger pangs.
I cooked rice water for my sick mother when I was about 8 years old, which was my very first time cooking on my own.
It was a disaster since I added uncooked rice and used too much water, resulting in a mushy, uncooked texture rice porridge.
I guess I’ve changed since then.
Lemongrass is my favorite flavoring for rice porridge because it just requires a small amount of sugar.
Rice Water/Porridge is lighter and lower in calories than Rice Pudding.
INGREDIENTS

30 ml of water
Add a little salt
One sugary tablespoon
100 ml of whole milk
METHOD
After washing the rice, heat the water in a saucepan over medium heat.
Wash the rice, then add it to the pot and simmer for 20 minutes.
Add the Sugar and Milk after lowering the heat to the lowest level.
Continue to cook for an additional 3 minutes before serving.
