Preparation

Step 1

Place milk, lavender, sugar, and salt in a small pot, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let steep for 30 minutes. Place the rice together with boiling water in a small pot and cook on medium heat with lid half closed for about 15 minutes, until all the water is absorbed.

In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch with two teaspoons water and add a bit of hot milk to increase its temperature. Then add mixture into the heated milk. Transfer the infused milk through a strainer into the rice and cook for 30 minutes or so, stirring occasionally, until the desired consistency is reached. Transfer to individual serving bowls, covered with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
