This low-sugar, whole-grain rice pudding would be a comforting alternative to oatmeal on a cool January morning. Make it ahead; it tastes even better the second day.

1/2 cup 80g / 2.8ozBrown basmati rice
2 cups 474mlWater
6   Green cardamom pods

Wrap cardamom pods in cheesecloth and tie with string. Place in large saucepan and add soy milk, rice, salt, cinnamon stick and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until rice is tender and liquid reduces until pudding-like, 45 to 50 minutes.
