Cooling Almond-Vanilla Rice Pudding
White rice flour cooked into a thin, smooth gruel mimics the comforting flavor of rice pudding without any chewy grains. Serving it chilled provides a cooling, numbing effect that calms oral discomfort and settles an unstable stomach.
Gentle for a sore mouth, nausea.
