Bring the milk and sugar to the boil. Add the rice, mixed with the water, and stir until it comes to a boil again. Turn down the heat to a low simmer and cook gently until the mixture becomes very creamy which will take approximately 45 minutes (Add a little more milk during cooking if necessary). Add the rosewater or orange water, stirring until bubbles appear on the surface. Remove from the heat and cool slightly, then pour into a bowl and refrigerate.

Serve chilled, decorated with slivered almonds.

*Be sure to use Watermaid rice. You can leave off the almonds if you like.
