Creamy Golden Monkey Rice Pudding

Submitted by:

A simplified pudding, lacking the spices of your traditional rice pudding so the focus is really on the subtle tea flavor.

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Serving Size: 6

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups water
2 1/2 tablespoons Golden Monkey tea
1 cup jasmine rice
1/4 cup heavy cream (divided)
1/4 cup milk
1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon honey

Directions
(Note: The temperature of my stove runs toward the cool end, so you may need to adjust the times slightly if you know rice cooks more quickly on yours.)

1. Brew the 2 1/2 cups of tea in the 1 3/4 cups of water for ten minutes. Discard leaves when finished.

2. Add the cup of rice to your tea and cook, covered, on medium-low heat for ten minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Add two tablespoons of the cream, and continue cooking at this temperature, uncovered, for five more minutes. Keep a close eye on it at this point; towards the end it might start trying to burn at the bottom of the pot.

4. Remove from heat. Add the milk and remaining two tablespoons of cream. Stir in the egg yolk quickly, then add the sugar and honey.

5. Return to the burner, and let it thicken at a simmer for five minutes. Serve hot!
