Soak rice in 2 cups water for 20 minutes. Drain.

In a large saucepan, place 3 cups water and cinnamon stick and cloves over medium heat. Bring to boil and add rice. Continue to boil until most water has been absorbed and rice is tender but not dry.

Add milks and decrease heat to medium low and stir until mixture begins to simmer.  Add sugar and strawberry syrup and continue to stir for 5 minutes.  Remove from heat and let cool.  Mixture will thicken.  Serve.  Garnish with chopped strawberries.
