Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 4 cups milk
  • ½ cup white granulated sugar (adjust according to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • Ground cinnamon for garnish
  • Chopped nuts (such as almonds or pistachios ) for garnish
  • Raisins for garnish

Directions

1

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

2

In a saucepan, combine the rice, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon stick.

3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer . Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

4

Reduce the heat to low and let the rice mixture simmer for about 30–40 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency. Stir regularly during this process.

5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick.

6

Divide the pudding into serving bowls or dessert cups.

7

Sprinkle ground cinnamon over each serving for added flavor and visual appeal. Garnish with chopped nuts and raisins as desired.

8

Serve warm or chilled, according to your preference.
