Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Serving bowls

Ingredients

  • 100 g jasmine rice
  • 500 ml lactose-free milk
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon plus extra for garnish
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Prepare the rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  • Cook the base: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, lactose-free milk, and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  • Stir and simmer: Reduce the heat to low and stir frequently to prevent the rice from sticking. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 25-30 minutes until the rice is soft and creamy.
  • Sweeten and flavour: Stir in the maple syrup and cinnamon. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Serve: Remove from heat and serve warm, garnished with a light dusting of cinnamon if desired.

Notes

Ensure the lactose-free milk is suitable for low FODMAP diets.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of extra milk if needed.
