- 1 cup Arborio rice, sushi rice, or short grain brown rice (preferred)
- 2 cups water
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 star anise
- 3 to 4 thin slices fresh ginger
- 6 to 8 green cardamom pods
- 8 whole black peppercorns

- 2 to 3 cups So Delicious Dairy Free Unsweetened Original or Vanilla Coconut Milk Beverage
- ¼ to ½ cup maple syrup
- Pinch of salt
- Ground cinnamon, for garnish
