Middle Eastern Rice Pudding

• 1 cup raw arborio rice
• 2 cups water
• 3 cups whole milk
• 1/2 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar (depends on how sweet you want it)
• 1 tablespoon orange blossom water (could be found in most middle eastern stores)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Step 1: Heat the rice and water in a very large pan to the boiling point,then lower the heat and simmer covered until the rice is done and the water is completely absorbed (approx. 15 min.).
2. Step 2:Add the milk and stir to incorporate paying particular attention to scraping all the rice from the bottom of the pan.Bring to a simmer and cook stirring periodically until mixture becomes thick and creamy.
3. Step 3:Add the sugar and orange-blossom water.The consistency will become more liquidy as a result,so continue cooking and stirring for another 5-10 minutes until it is thick and creamy once more.
4. Step 4: Remove from heat and carefully pour into serving cups.Serve warm or cold.Garnish with cinnamon and chopped nuts.
5. Note:If going to serve cold ,let it cool in the serving cups for a few minutes ,then cover with a plastic wrap and refrigerate.
