III. Step-by-Step Instructions

A. Preparing the Rice:

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water to remove any excess starch.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid.
  4. Simmer the rice for about 15 minutes or until it is cooked through and tender.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the rice sit covered for an additional 5 minutes to absorb any remaining liquid.
  6. Fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains.

B. Cooking the Rice Pudding

  1. Return the saucepan with the cooked rice to low heat.
  2. Add the whole milk, granulated sugar, and salt to the saucepan.
  3. Stir the mixture continuously to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan and to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  4. Continue cooking over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and reaches a creamy consistency. This process may take approximately 30-40 minutes.

C. Incorporating CBD

  1. Once the rice pudding has reached the desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat.
  2. Add 1-2 drops of CBD oil to the rice pudding and stir well to ensure even distribution of CBD.
  3. Adjust the CBD dosage according to your personal preferences and the instructions provided with your CBD product. Start with a lower dosage and gradually increase if desired.

D. Serving and Garnishing

  1. Divide the CBD-infused Rice Pudding into serving bowls or ramekins.
  2. Allow the pudding to cool slightly before covering each bowl with plastic wrap or wax paper to prevent a skin from forming.
  3. Refrigerate the rice pudding for at least 2 hours or until chilled and set.
  4. When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap or wax paper and garnish each bowl with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon if desired.
  5. Serve the Rice Pudding chilled and enjoy!
