6 cups whole milk
2/3 cup long-grain white rice (not converted)

I'm not a big fan of cardamom, so I was hesitant to try this recipe. But I'm glad I did! The cardamom flavor was subtle and not overpowering. The pudding was also very creamy and delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is too complicated and time-consuming. I don't recommend it to anyone who is short on time or patience.

I tried this recipe and it was a total disaster. The rice didn't cook evenly and the pudding was lumpy. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be trying this recipe again.

This rice pudding was a disappointment. The flavor was bland and the texture was too watery. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I've tried many rice pudding recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cardamom adds a unique flavor that really elevates the dish. I highly recommend this recipe.
