RECIPE



Ingredients (6 to 8 servings)

1 cup long-grain white rice, washed
4 cinnamon sticks
2 cups water
4 cups milk
Pinch salt
2 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 cups sugar
1 (12 oz) can sweetened condensed
milk

Directions
In a small pot, add water and cinnamon sticks,
bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Set
aside and discard cinnamon sticks.
Place the rice and the cinnamon water in a
large saucepan, over medium heat and cook
for 5 minutes.
Add salt, butter, vanilla extract, 2 cups of milk,
and sugar. Stir well to mix and cook uncovered
for approximately 15 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium low. Add the
remaining milk and condensed milk. Stir with a
wooden spoon. Cook for 1 hour and 15
minutes, or until the rice pudding thickens to
desire consistency.
Stir well and remove from heat, and let it cool
at room temperature. The consistency should
be very creamy. Refrigerate for a least 1 hour
or overnight.
