Dreamy Chai Rice Pudding

Ingredients

• 1 cup rice long grain (I used rice)
• 1 cup rice long grain (I used rice)
• 4 cups milk whole
• 1 cup freshly tea english brewed (I used Twinings Breakfast and left the tea left to brew fminutes)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger 
• 3  snow peas whole
• 1  star anise whole
• 6  cloves 
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence (or 1 vanilla bean)
• 0.3 cup brown sugar 
• 0.3 cup brown sugar 

Equipment

• bowl
• sauce pan

Directions

1. Put milk, tea, rice and all spices in a small saucepan and bring to boil. The turn down and simmer for around 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Add sugar and turn heat back up to high. Cook for three to four minutes, stirring all the time as the pudding thickens.
3. Serve in individual bowls. If you wish, you can pick out the spices before serving (use a spoon as the pudding will be very hot) but I figure most people can cope with minor details like that.
