Ingredients

  • 5 cups water, divided
  • 2 cups uncooked long grain rice
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2-1/2 cups milk

Stir in milk and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until milk is absorbed and rice is creamy. Remove from the heat; stir in almonds and extract. Cool slightly; cover and chill.
