Indulge in the creamy richness of rice pudding spiced with cinnamon, a comforting dessert with warm flavor.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup short-grain rice
- 4 cups whole milk
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Ground cinnamon, for garnish
Instructions:
In a large saucepan, combine the rice, milk, water, sugar, cinnamon sticks, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rice becomes tender and the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency, about 20-30 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Discard the cinnamon sticks. Serve warm or chilled, garnished with ground cinnamon.
