Matcha Rice Pudding

Instructions

• Step 1

• In a medium saucepan, bring the milk and rice to a gentle boil over medium heat. Reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 18–20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the rice is tender and the milk is absorbed slightly.

  Step 2

• Stir in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with 1–2 tablespoons of warm water to form a smooth paste, then stir it into the pudding.

  Step 3

• Continue cooking uncovered over low heat, stirring frequently, for another 5–10 minutes until the pudding is thick and creamy.

  Step 4

• Spoon into bowls and top with toasted coconut, fresh raspberries, and an extra drizzle of maple syrup if needed.
