Ingredients

• 100g jasmine rice
• 30g unsalted butter
• ½ tsp. lightly crushed saffron
• ½ tsp. ground cardamom
• 2½ pints whole milk
• 100g light brown sugar
• 40g slivered almonds, toasted

Instructions

1. Place rice in a fine strainer, and rinse under running water until water runs clear; drain thoroughly.
2. Heat butter in a frying pan over medium heat; add rice, saffron, and cardamom, and cook, stirring until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
3. Add whole milk, and cook, stirring occasionally, until milk is reduced by half and rice is tender, about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
