Method

This Lebanese pudding is a favorite of  children and always served to invalids. In the Middle East the rice may be purchased already pulverized. 
It could also be pulverized at home with a mortar and pestle or in an electric blender.
Mix rice with water and add to milk which has been brought to a boil. 
Stir and cook until thickened and then add sugar. 
Continue cooking and stirring until mixture coats the spoon. 
Add flavorings and boil a few minutes longer.
Pour into individual serving dishes and decorate with chopped nuts.
