Rinse the rice and boil it for 10 minutes.
Cook it with the milk and sugar over low heat for 15 minutes.
Crush the mastic and add it together with the almonds.
Stir the rice pudding for 3 minutes so the mastic does not stick to the bottom.
Divide among bowls and let rest for 30 minutes.
Sprinkle with almonds when serving.
💡 Tip: Crushing the mastic very lightly keeps gritty pieces from remaining in the dessert.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the rice pudding cold in small bowls, sprinkled with almonds.
