How to Make Almond Spice Rice Pudding From Leftover Rice

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups cooked jasmine rice, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy), and a pinch of salt.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon almond extract, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, and 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (optional, for added texture and nutrition).
  3. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the pudding has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded.
  4. Remove from heat and let the rice pudding cool slightly. Stir in 1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional, for added crunch).
  5. Serve warm or chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
