Instructions

6 steps

1
Soften the Rice: Simmer the rice with 500ml water and the cinnamon stick until most of the water is absorbed and the rice is partly tender.

2
Add Milk: Pour in the milk and evaporated milk and reduce the heat to low.
3
Simmer Gently: Cook, stirring often, until the rice is soft and the mixture has thickened, about 20 minutes.
4
Sweeten: Stir in the sugar, vanilla, and raisins if using, and cook a few more minutes.
5
Adjust: It will thicken further as it cools, so loosen with a little milk if needed.
6
Serve: Serve warm or chilled, dusted with ground cinnamon.
