As much as my boys love oatmeal, they love hot rice cereal almost as much.Tender brown rice with sweet apricots and honey simmered in milk is a breakfast that I would happily eat every week. The apricots add a great deal of sweetness to this dish that balances the heartier brown rice nicely.
I try to make rice cereal with brown rice when possible. (I typically cook the rice the night before and then store it in the fridge until I need it.) I’ve made this with Jasmine rice as well and it is sweeter, with a softer texture. It definitely tastes more like a dessert that way.
