8 cups milk
1 cup of Egyptian rice ( this rice is super tiny and is full of starch.
1 cup water
1/4 cup orange blossom water
1/4cup rose water
1 cup sugar
How2:
1. rinse rice quickly just to make sure nothing is in it but don't over wash because the natural starch of the rice is needed to thicken the dish up.
2. add water and rice to a pot on high heat. Cook until the rice doubles in size but does NOT become overcooked and the water will dry a bit and what remains is rice and starch. once this happens you may remove from heat.
3. heat up the 8 cups of milk. pour over the rice stir very well return to a med-high heat. Add the cardamom pods.
4. be sure to constantly stir to prevent sticking, once it comes to a boil you may rest and stir every 3mins.
5. once the rice appears to have floated to the top of them pot and the milk has thicken remove from the heat for a few mins so you may add the flavorings.
6. add sugar,,rose water,orange blossom water. mix well bring back on a low heat allow it to simmer for 3mins and after the 3mins remove from heat completely.
7. pour into bowls I used 13 bowls or one huge container but this depends on the size you are using. allow them to cool slightly and a film forms on top then cover and place in the refigerator over night.
Serve as is or with a sprinkle of ground pistachios. ENJOY!
NOTE: the rice used is the Egyptian small rice long grain or regular rice wont work as well in this recipe. be sure to use the same mug to measure everything out to keep everything consistent.
