Filipino Kutsinta (Sticky Brown Rice with Shredded Coconut Topping)

Boil water for the steamer.

In a mixing bowl, sift all dry ingredients. Combine 3 cups water and milk in a separate bowl. While mixing the dry ingredients, slowly add the water-milk mixture until all ingredients are completely distributed and lump-free. Add lye water, then continue mixing. Fill small muffin pans halfway. Steam for 10–20 minutes. Serve kutsinta with grated coconut.

Enjoy your kutsinta with a cup of brewed coffee or tea. It really is important to serve this yummy treat with fresh grated coconut.
