Sweet Potato Brown Rice Pudding

• 2 cups Water
• 1 cup Short-grain Brown Rice
• 1 pinch Salt
• 4 cups 2% Milk (or Milk Of Choice)
• 2 Tablespoons Brown Rice Syrup (or Honey Or Maple Syrup)
• 2 Tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup
• 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
• 1 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
• 1/4 teaspoons Ground Cloves
• 2 cups Sweet Potato Puree

1. Combine water, rice, and salt in a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a boil, stir once, and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 40 minutes, or until most of the water is absorbed (rice will continue to cook in the milk mixture, so you want the rice slightly undercooked at this point).
2. Remove rice from heat, place in a bowl, and set aside.
3. Add milk, brown rice syrup, maple syrup, vanilla, and spices to the pot. Bring to a very low boil over medium heat, whisking often so the milk doesn't scorch. Lower heat to medium-low.
4. Whisk in the cooked rice and sweet potato puree. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. If a "skin" forms, just stir it back into the pudding. Simmer until the milk cooks down and the rice is creamy, about 30 minutes. Note: it is especially important to tend to the pudding towards the end of the cooking time. Do not walk away from the stove, or your pudding will burn.
5. Transfer rice pudding to a large bowl, and let cool. Pudding will continue to thicken as it cools. For best thickening results, refrigerate pudding until well-chilled.
6. Serve warm or cold, with an extra dollop of sweet potato puree and a dusting of cinnamon if desired.
