Orange Blossom Rice Pudding

Ingredients

• ½ cup short-grain rice
• 4 cups whole milk
• ⅓ cup sugar
• ¼ tsp kosher salt
• 1½ tsp orange blossom water
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ cup chopped pistachios
• Ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Rinse the rice, then combine it with 1 cup water in a heavy saucepan and simmer until the water is mostly absorbed.
2. Add the milk, sugar, and salt; cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until the rice is tender and the pudding coats a spoon.
3. Remove from the heat and stir in orange blossom water and vanilla.
4. Spoon into small bowls and cool slightly, or refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
5. Top with pistachios and a light dusting of cinnamon before serving.
