Instructions
Cooking Arroz con Leche
-
Rinse Rice
Rinse the rice in a sieve under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents clumping.
Ensure all starch is washed off for a non-sticky consistency. -
Cook Rice
In a large pot, combine rice, water, and the cinnamon stick. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until water is mostly absorbed.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. -
Simmer with Milk
Add milk, sugar, and salt to the pot. Continue to simmer gently, stirring often, until the mixture thickens, about 20 minutes.
Ensure a gentle heat to avoid burning the milk. -
Finish and Serve
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and raisins, if using. Let it cool slightly, then sprinkle with ground cinnamon before serving.
Serve warm or refrigerate for a cold dessert.
