Ingredients
1/4 cup brown rice powder
1 cup of water
A little formula/breast milk

You can use white rice if you prefer, but brown rice is more nutritious.
Preparation
Step 1
Bring the water to a boil. Add the rice powder, stirring constantly with a wire whisk.
Reduce the heat to very low and simmer gently for about 10 minutes (don’t forget to keep stirring, or the rice will stick).
