Add rice. Lower the heat, cover the pot, and simmer for 10 minutes.

Almondmilk Mixture

Step 3 complete
Mix in 1 1/2 cups of almondmilk, salt, and sugar. Stir and simmer on medium-low for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is soft. Stir every 5 minutes or so to keep the rice from sticking to the bottom.
