Creme Brulee with Black Sticky Rice

My son, Jorge, asked me to make this at home after we had it at Hanuman Restaurant here in Alice Springs. I think I've got it right.. finally. A couple of tips... please don't use that horrid thickened cream. There is one brand of Pure Cream that is worth buying... apart from some incredibly expensive gourmet or organic brands.

Ingredients
1 cup black sticky rice
1/3 cup castor sugar
water

4 egg yolks
400 mls fresh pure cream
100ml full cream milk
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 vanilla bean or vanilla extract

Method
Soak rice overnight in cold water. Rinse, and cook for around 1 hour. 15 minutes before the rice is cooked, add the sugar. Allow to cool.
