Ingredients
- 1/2 cup uncooked long grain white rice

- Zest from one lemon
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk, (14 ounces)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 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.
