1cupBrown rice- (preferably short grain, but long grain would work just fine)
4½cupsAlmond milk(start with 4 cups and add the rest if needed)
⅓cupDate Syrup** (or more if you like it sweeter)
¼cupRaisins
¼cupCranberriesDried
¼tspCinnamonGround
½tspAlmondextract
1tspVanilla extract
½cupAlmondsSlivered - , chopped
Instructions
Bring rice and 4 cups of almond milk to a boil in a saucepan; lower the heat to medium low and cook until the rice is cooked and has almost absorbed the almond milk, stirring occasionally, takes about 45 minutes. I had to add an additional ½cup of milk for the rice to be completely cooked.
Stir in date syrup, raisins, craisins, almond extract, vanilla extract, cinnamon, almonds into the rice and serve warm.
Notes
** To make date syrup: soak ½cup of pitted dates in ½cup cup of boiling water for 15 minutes. Then blend them into a puree along with the soaking liquid.
