How can I enhance the flavor of rice pudding?

To enhance the flavor of rice pudding, experiment with a variety of stir-ins. Cinnamon, cardamom and vanilla extract (if you've run out, try making a homemade vanilla extract!) would complement the nutmeg. For a little extra sweetness, sprinkle with brown sugar or drizzle a sugar alternative like honey or maple syrup on top. Not fond of raisins? Leave them out or replace them with dried cranberries.

Rice puddings tend to thicken as they cool. To thin when reheating, stir in a tablespoon or two of milk.
