Served with vanilla icecream. Looking forward to leftovers with yoghurt & muesli for breakfast
This is so delicious. It deserves a picture and a 5 star rating!
Lovely and versatile. I have also cooked this with cloves and cardamom pods vs. the star anise and cinnamon. Served with a nice dollop of whipped cream. I would cut back on the amount of water added. Instead of 1 1/2 cups 1 to 3/4 cups will move things along faster and once it comes to a boil, reduce it down a bit further.
