Instructions

Rinse the short-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch, then drain well.
Pour the whole milk into a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan and warm over medium heat.
Add the rinsed rice, granulated sugar, fine sea salt, and vanilla bean paste to the milk, stirring to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
Reduce the heat to low and cook uncovered, stirring often, until the rice is tender and the pudding thickens to a creamy consistency, about 35-40 minutes. Avoid boiling vigorously.
Remove from heat and stir in the rose water for a delicate floral flavor.
Serve warm or at room temperature, or chill in the refrigerator before serving cold.

Tips

Use short-grain rice for a creamy, tender texture; rinse the rice to prevent gumminess.
Stir frequently during cooking to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
