1
Rinse the Rice
In a fine mesh strainer, rinse 1 cup of Arborio rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a large saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 4 cups of milk, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 tsp of salt.
3
Cook the Mixture
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
4
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan and let the rice simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency.

5
Add Vanilla
Once the rice pudding has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and stir in 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
6
Serve
Spoon the rice pudding into serving bowls. If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon, and top with raisins and chopped nuts.
