Ingredients
- 1 cup of short-grain rice, like bomba or risotto rice, rinsed in cold water
- 1 cup water
- 3 cups whole milk (add a little at a time)
- 1 wide slice of lemon rind
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup sugar
Instructions
- Rinse the rice in cool water and allow to drain.
- Place the rice and one cup of water in a small to a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the rice starts to absorb the water.
- Add one cup of milk, lemon rind, cinnamon stick, and salt.
- Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid the rice drying out and burning.
- Continue to add milk ½ cup at a time until it reaches the right consistency and the rice is cooked through. The rice should be soft and creamy but not mushy.
- Add the sugar, a bit at a time, stir to blend, and then taste. It should be sweet but not sugary, and really to your taste.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon before serving. Serve warm, room temperature, or chilled.
