Spicy Rice Pudding with Nuts

This pudding is traditionally prepared to celebrate the birth of a new child or at Christmas. I have never needed a reason to prepare this delicious pudding. It is a unique combination of spices, including fresh ginger, cinnamon, anise, and cloves, boiled in water for the broth. Cream of rice is added to the broth with sugar, and the result is a spicy and unique rice pudding topped with nuts.
