Ingredients

  • 1 cup white rice
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 sticks cinnamon sticks
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the 1 cup rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

  2. 2

    In a large saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 4 cups milk, 2 cinnamon sticks, and 0.25 tsp salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened, about 25-30 minutes. The pudding should coat the back of a spoon.

  4. 4

    Remove the cinnamon sticks. Stir in the 0.5 cup sugar and 1 tsp ground cinnamon until fully dissolved.

  5. 5

    Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring, until the pudding is creamy and slightly thickened. It should look glossy and hold its shape when spooned.

  6. 6

    Serve warm or chilled, sprinkled with extra ground cinnamon if desired.
