Ingredients
1/2
cup
uncooked long grain white rice
1 1/2
cups
water
Zest from one lemon
1
cinnamon stick
2
cups
whole milk
1
can
sweetened condensed milk
(14 ounces)
1/4
teaspoon
salt
1
teaspoon
vanilla extract
Ground cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
In a saucepan, add the rice with water, lemon zest and cinnamon stick. Cook until the rice is soft, about 10-15 minutes.
Remove the cinnamon stick and drain off any excess water. (Most of the water should be absorbed into the rice.) Place saucepan back on the stove.
Add milk, condensed milk, salt, and vanilla extract to rice and cook over low heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally until thick, for about 1 hour.
Remove from heat. Serve, sprinkle with ground cinnamon and enjoy!
