Arabic Rice Pudding

An easy and very tasty arabic pudding. This is just one of the many reasons why these people have a sweet tooth and we cant blame them for that. If this is their idea of an everyday simple pudding, I long to be in their shoes during their festive seasons when hundreds of such sweet dishes would be served.
Ingredients
1 cup of uncooked rice
3 cups whole milk, plus 3 tablespoons
2 cups water
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 drops of vanilla extract
2 tablespoons rosewater
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
Dried and roasted nuts
Method
In a large saucepan, combine rice and water and cook until tender (about 20 minutes). Add milk and sugar, turn the heat down to low and simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Simmer until creamy, approx. 45 minutes. Add remaining three tablespoons of milk, vanilla extract and cornstarch to rice and stir thoroughly. Add rosewater and bring to boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes to thicken and transfer to serving bowls. Garnish with dried and roasted nuts.
