2 cups water
 
¾ cup rice, arborio (or Carolina short grain rice)

pinch of salt
 
5 cups whole milk
 

 
Cinnamon for serving
 


 
Cooking Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring two cups of water to a boil. Then stir in rice and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat until the water is absorbed; about 8-10 minutes.

  2. Add milk and sugar, stir and bring to a gentle boil. Once it begins to boil, reduce heat to a low simmer.

  3. Stirring occasionally, cook for 30-40 minutes. Mixture should thicken up to the consistency of yogurt.

  4. Turn off the heat and let stand for 15 minutes, but stir every five minutes to avoid film on top.

  5. Ladle rice pudding in serving bowls and sprinkle with cinnamon. Let cool, refrigerate and enjoy!
