Directions

  1. Pour 2 cups of water, cinnamon, cardamom and star anise in a medium size pot.
  2. Place on medium-high heat, bringing the liquid to a boil.
  3. Add the rice after the liquid comes to a boil. Return to a boil and lower the heat, bringing the mixture down to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is soft.
  4. After the rice is cooked, turn off the heat and remove the cinnamon, cardamom and star anise.
  5. In a separate medium-sized pot, heat the coconut milk until it simmers.
  6. Add the honey or agave until combined. Then, add the rice.
  7. Simmer the mixture for 7-9 minutes. The mixture will thicken as the liquid evaporates. Take it off the heat when it reaches the desired pudding consistency.
  8. Spoon into a bowl and garnish with toasted coconut.
