Honey-sweetened Risengrød
Rice pudding made with honey is nature's gift. Honey is not just a sweetener but a complex flavour bomb that brings floral, sometimes slightly acidic notes to the dish. An important rule: never cook the honey, only drizzle it at the end to preserve the enzymes and aromas.

Instructions
1
✓
Pre-cook the rice in the water for 5 minutes.
Tip: Because of the rice's starch content, the water will become cloudy – this is a good sign.
2
✓
Add the milk and cook until ready on a low heat, stirring frequently (approx. 35-40 minutes).
Tip: Rice pudding is good when the rice is soft but hasn't completely disintegrated.
3
✓
Stir in the salt and butter, then remove from the heat.
Tip: Butter adds shine and richness.
4
✓
Spoon into bowls and drizzle generously with honey.
Tip: The viscosity of the honey decreases on the hot food, so it spreads beautifully over it.
