5 pieces of mastic

1 tablespoon of orange blossom water

1 teaspoon of vanilla

How to prepare

To prepare rice with milk, bring the milk to a boil. Add the rice and water over low heat and stir constantly until the rice is soft and the milk thickens.

Add sugar, mastic, orange blossom water and vanilla and continue stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove the mixture from the heat and spread over the serving dishes. Leave the dishes aside until the rice with milk cools.

To prepare orange cream, pour 4 cups of orange juice into a bowl and place it on a stove. In the remaining cup, dissolve the cornstarch, then add it to the bowl and stir constantly until it boils. Leave it on low heat for 5 minutes, then add sugar until it dissolves.

Pour the cream over the rice with milk, then put the mixture in the refrigerator after it cools.

The dish can be decorated with pistachios before serving.
