Non-Spicy Rice Pudding with Almond Milk

Rice pudding doesn't need much dressing up to feel special, and this version keeps it deliberately plain — just rice, almond milk, and a touch of honey simmered low and slow.

Every spice here is used sparingly or skipped outright, which is what makes this fit an ulcer-friendly plate: the cinnamon is optional and light, there's no nutmeg or citrus zest competing for attention, and the almond milk keeps things dairy-light if regular milk doesn't sit well. The long, slow simmer breaks the rice down until it's soft enough to barely need chewing, which is part of what makes a dish like this comfortable when your stomach wants simple food.

Serve it warm right off the stove, or let it chill in the fridge for a cool, custardy version later.
