Almond milk rice & raspberry melba

Milk rice is a German classic. It can be served as dessert or breakfast (sprinkle with granola), and its soft taste and consistency loves tart berry or fruit sauces like raspberry melba (try also passion fruit).

I cooked this milk rice on almond milk, which adds flavour and makes it easier to cook - and suitable for vegan diets.
