Guest guest Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Did you see this recipe on Chai Tea Pudding? Looks good. It was at that Rice order place you sent. Now I need to get back there to finish up my order with Lotus Food. We usually get the white Jasmin rice at the grocery. Recipe of the Month Chai Spice Rice Pudding Recipe by Waltermyer, author of " Natural Vegan Kitchen " . The sweet spices of Chai tea join together with aromatic jasmine rice to make a spectacular pudding! * 5 cups almond milk, or nondairy milk of your choice * 4 chai tea bags * 1/4 cup light agave nectar or maple syrup, or more to taste * 1 cup Organic Jasmine Rice * 1/4 cup currants * Extra cinnamon, for garnish Place the almond milk in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Shut off the heat and add the chai tea bags. Cover and steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and squeeze them over the pot to extract all of the spices. Discard the tea bags. Add the agave nectar or maple syrup to the milk-tea mixture. Whisk to blend. Add the rice and currants and bring to a gentle boil, uncovered. Lower heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender. Stir frequently during cooking. Serve the finished pudding warm in parfait glasses, topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Serves 6.

Japonica (purple rice) can sometimes be found in bulk food stores, but I haven't seen it in years. Avoid Lundberg brand rices for sprouting-they have been treated and won't sprout (unlabeled treatment-used to be a great company but sold out to the big boys) I buy my japonica in bulk bags, but haven't bought any in a few years now, since it became so hard to find organic. > > I am intrigued, WHAT is forbidden rice?  Sounds like something we might want to try to eat so long as not poisonous. My husband loves the Jasmine Rice but he was in the ines for 11 years and they eat only white rice there. They also washed it 3 times, for Father, Son and Holy Ghost. A restaurant here had the best rice and I asked about it and they said it was Jasmine Rice but they don't wash it before it is cooked. Itis sure not as healthy as brown rice or wild rice but that is what my husband likes and now is supposed to eat because of dialysis. It is the opposite of what a diabetic should be eating. Wouldn't it figure. No beans, no whole grains, no brown or wild rice. So forbidden rice sounds like something the royals had and common people weren't allowed. That intrigues me. It is like wearing purple. LOL. > > > Carolyn Wilkerson > > >  Carolyn Wilkerson yes I did cook them after I sprouted them. I cooked them with Rice, However the rice wasnt sprouted. Although I am now in the process of trying to sprout some brown rice. Will see how it goes... > > We are not in the process of trying to sprout some carrots, cellary, beets, onion, brown rice, & forbidden rice . So far this is our 2nd attempt at the forbidden rice. not having much luck with it. I read all the info I could find on sprouting rice and how long to let it soak for but both attempts seem to be to long. The 1st time we let it soak for 8 hrs, this was WAY to long as they burst by the 1st rinse. This 2nd attempt seems to be to long as well 4 hrs. less then half had burst so we are still trying to see if some of it will sprout at least but not counting on it.. as each rinse comes it seems more hav burst so we may give up on this one being it is so expensive for the rice and We are happy with the way it tastes anyway and the health benefits it already provides. Was just hoping to get a bit more out of it. has a recipe he did with the forbidden rice and the rainbow mix we sprouted that is awesome!! IT is so nutty in flavor I cant stop > easting it till its gone.... > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
