If using minute rice, simply combine everything (except vanilla) in a sealable container and you’re good to go! Remember to bring vanilla to add in later (see below). 

1. If dehydrating own rice:

• a) cook rice according to directions.
• b) While rice is cooking, combine vanilla and water in a bowl.
• c) Once rice is cooked, scoop out 1 cup of rice and mix into vanilla and water mixture. (This is to add flavour to the rice and means you don’t have to pack out vanilla!)
• d) Spread rice on mesh lined dehydrating sheet. Dry at 135^o for approx 2 hours

2. Once rice is complete, combine in a container with sugar, powdered milk, pistachios and cardamom. 

Voilà! Your pistachio & cardamom rice pudding is ready to go! (see how to rehydrate below)
