How to Make Jasmine Chai Rice Pudding

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups water, 2 bags Jasmine tea, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup milk. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Remove from heat and let steep for 1 minute to infuse the tea flavor.
  3. Strain the milk mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the tea bags and any solids.
  4. Return the strained milk mixture to the saucepan over medium heat.
  5. Add 1/2 cup uncooked long-grain rice. Stir to combine, then cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is partially cooked.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup chopped fruit (such as mango or berries), and 2 large egg yolks until well combined.
  7. Gradually whisk about 1/3 of the hot rice mixture into the egg yolk mixture to temper the eggs, preventing curdling.
  8. Pour the tempered egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the remaining rice mixture.
  9. Cook over medium-low heat for another 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the pudding has thickened, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and burning.
  10. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter.
  11. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or pistachios) and the zest of 1 orange.
  12. Divide the rice pudding into serving bowls. Top with whipped cream (optional) and sprinkle with the nut and orange zest mixture.
  13. Serve warm or chilled. Add a splash of milk for reheating if needed.
