Sweet rice recipe help? Panama cook book recipe
Can I start by saying... You need a new cook book...

Regarding the question.
For my taste


1tsp cloves
2tsp cinnamon
2tbsp brown sugar
1tbsp white sugar
3 Inches of Ginger


How many people are you cooking for because as a "Side Dish" this seems to make a huge amount of product.
As I said this is how I would do it to my taste but It's not something I've ever eaten before and I HATE the taste of cloves.
