1
Rinse the Rice
Start by rinsing 1 cup of rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and keeps the pudding from becoming too sticky.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a large saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 4 cups of milk, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 tsp of salt. Stir well to combine.

3
Cook the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
4
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened.
5
Add Flavorings
Stir in 1 tsp of vanilla extract and, if desired, 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1 cup of raisins. Allow it to cook for an additional 5 minutes.

6
Cool and Serve
Remove the rice pudding from heat and let it cool slightly. You can serve it warm or chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon if desired.
