- 1In a large pot, combine 4 and 1/2 cups (1 liter) of whole milk, 1/4 cup (50 grams) of granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- 2Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- 3Stir the mixture to ensure the sugar is well distributed.
- 4Rinse 3/4 cup (135 grams) of uncooked white rice under cold water.
- 5Once the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat immediately to low to prevent it from boiling over.
- 6Add the rinsed rice to the pot.
- 7Give it a good stir.
- 8Partially cover the pot.
- 9Simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from clumping up.

- 11Add 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- 12Continue cooking to your desired thickness, remembering it will thicken more as it cools.

Tips
- Use a short-grained rice like Arborio for best results.
- Do not use brown rice.
- Rinsing the rice is not a must, but it's preferable to get rid of any dust or debris.
- Do not overcook the rice, as it will continue to thicken as it cools.
- You can add other flavors like cardamom, orange zest, or dried fruits like raisins or mango.
