Honey Rice Custard

Measure milk and water into a saucepan; bring to the boiling point.

Stir in the rice; simmer gently until tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

(This may be cooked in a double boiler without stirring, but it takes much longer.)

When the rice is tender, stir in the honey and add some of the hot rice to the egg yolks and stir thoroughly, then stir the yolks into the rice. Turn into the serving dish, sprinkled with cinnamon and nutmeg. Serve very cold.

This is delicious with stewed dried fruit.
