## Ingredients

- 4.5 cups whole milk
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 0.75 cup uncooked white rice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon

## Instructions

1. In 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.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Stir the mixture to ensure the sugar is well distributed.
4. Rinse 3/4 cup (135 grams) of uncooked white rice under cold water.
5. Once the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat immediately to low to prevent it from boiling over.
6. Add the rinsed rice to the pot.
7. Give it a good stir.
8. Partially cover the pot.
9. Simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from clumping up.
10. Once the rice has thickened, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste.
11. Add 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
12. Continue cooking to your desired thickness, remembering it will thicken more as it cools.
13. Serve warm or allow it to cool.

## Equipment

- large pot
- spatula
- strainer
- stove

## 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.
