For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sliver of lemon or orange zest during the simmering process. Adjust the amount of sugar to suit your preference. Taste the pudding during the last few minutes of cooking and add more sugar if needed. If you prefer a richer pudding, substitute whole milk with evaporated milk or add a splash of heavy cream during the last few minutes of cooking. Garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or a dusting of cocoa powder before serving for an elegant touch.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a bowl, combine water and rice. Allow to soak for at least 30 minutes to soften the rice grains.
02
StepTransfer the water and rice mixture to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
03
StepOnce boiling, reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer gently until the rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed, approximately 20-25 minutes.
04
StepAdd the milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, and salt to the cooked rice. Stir well to combine.
05
StepContinue to simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the mixture thickens to your desired pudding consistency, about 20 minutes. The pudding should coat the back of a spoon.
06
StepRemove from heat. Discard the cinnamon stick.
07
StepServe warm or allow to cool and chill in the refrigerator for a refreshing treat.
