Comment préparer Nigerian Rice Water

Rinse 1 cup of long-grain rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 4 cups of water and 1 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 30 minutes, or until the rice is very soft and has released its milky goodness.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Line a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth over a bowl and carefully pour the rice mixture through, pressing gently on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
Return the strained rice water to the saucepan. Stir in 1/4 cup granulated sugar (or to taste), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and the zest of 1/2 a lemon (or lime). Heat gently until the sugar dissolves completely, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
Remove from heat and let cool completely. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving for optimal refreshment.
Serve chilled and garnish with a cinnamon stick or a sprinkle of nutmeg, if desired.
