Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cooking the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

  2. 2

    Adding Milk and Flavorings

    Once the rice is cooked, add the milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, vanilla extract, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.

  3. 3

    Simmering

    Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.

  4. 4

    Final Touches

    If using, stir in the raisins during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Remove from heat, discard the cinnamon stick, and let it cool slightly.

  5. 5

    Serving

    Serve warm or chilled, sprinkled with ground cinnamon on top.
