Riz Wa Haleeb

This is a delicious oriental rice pudding recipe which is said to have originated in Lebanon. I was never fond of Rice pudding until I tasted this exclusive recipe. It is a perfect dessert recipe to create a perfection to any meal. Enjoy it.

Ingredients

1 cup of Egyptian rice ( this rice is super tiny and is full of starch.
1 cup water
1/2 cup of rose water and 2 tablespoon of Orange blossom water (Adjust both depending on your taste)

1 cup sugar

Method

Rinse rice quickly just to make sure it is clean but don't over wash because the natural starch of the rice is needed to thicken the dish up.
Add water and rice to a pot on high heat. Cook until  the rice doubles in size but does NOT become overcooked and the water will dry a bit and what remains is rice and starch. once this happens you may remove from heat.
Heat up the 8 cups of milk. Pour over the rice stir very well return to a med-high heat.
Be sure to constantly stir to prevent sticking, once it comes to a boil you may rest and stir every 3 mins.
Once the rice appears to have floated to the top of the pot and the milk has thickened, remove from the heat for a few mins so you may add the flavorings.
Add sugar, orange blossom and rose water.Mix well.Allow it to simmer  for 3mins and remove from heat completely.
Pour into bowls. Allow it to cool.Garnish with dried nuts and raisins. Enjoy.
