Black Rice Pudding Dairy free

If you have an Aspergers child, or anyone else in your home has an allergy to dairy or intolerance here is an awesome way to be able to enjoy a great dessert and not worry about the dairy. Add your favorite herbs and spices and make it nutritious and delicious! I make Black Rice pudding using herbal tea and water and coconut milk. I add cinnamon, Good Earth sweet N Spicy tea, Ginger, Nettle leaf, Roasted Dandelion, and whatever else I feel like to the water and again to the coconut milk. The recipe is
2 Cups  black rice                                                      6 Cups water                                                                                  
 3 tea bags of any packaged tea used                 3 TBS any loose spice or Herb used            
1 package coconut                                                     1 cup sweetener of your choice Sugar, brown sugar, stevia, honey, agave
4-6 cans coconut milk
Add water, black rice, spices, herbal teas, herbs of your choice to dutch oven or large pan.
Bring to boil then simmer until water is gone. Usually takes an hour or more
Add 1 cup sweetener, coconut, cinnamon,  4 -6 Cans Coconut Milk so it is liquidy again. Stir well and simmer again until Thickened and rice is soft.
If you use this recipe you can change anything, add your favorite tea or herbs,  try with almond milk also.
