Fat-Free Green Tea Pudding & Ice Cream Recipes

Ingredients

• 1 quart (4 cups) skim milk
• 1/3 cup rice
• 1/2 cup sugar or Splenda
• 1 1/2 Tbsp green tea powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

In medium saucepan, whisk together green tea powder and milk. Add rice, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until rice is tender, about 30 minutes, stirring regularly to prevent milk from scorching and rice from sticking to the pan.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
