Directions

  1. Rinse the rice and let it soak for 15 to 20 minutes, then drain the water.
  2. Heat the milk in a saucepan.
  3. Once it starts to simmer, add the bay leaves and cardamom.
  4. Once the milk begins to thicken slightly, gradually add the rice and cook over low heat, stirring constantly.
  5. Once the rice is cooked and the milk has thickened, remove the pot from the heat and let it stand for 5 to 7 minutes.
  6. Next, add the sugar (it’s best to dissolve it in a little warm milk to prevent it from clumping). ≈ 3 min
  7. Once the honey has been incorporated, cook for a few more minutes, then add the grapes and walnuts.
  8. If the puree is very thick, turn off the heat and serve it hot or cold. ≈ 2 min
