ARROZ CON LECHE

[Guest guest]

1/2 cup rice (rinsed)

1 1/2 cups water

1 cinnamon stick

rind of 1/2 lime (in large pieces)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

4 cups milk

1 can condensed milk

Cinnamon (powdered)

 

Bring 1-1/2 cup of water to a boil with

the lime rind and cinnamon stick.

 

Add the 1/2 cup of rice and reduce heat,

simmering the rice until the rice is cooked

and has absorbed the water. Remove cinnamon

stick and lime rind.

 

Combine the 4 cups milk, 1 can condensed

milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon

vanilla extract and add to the cooked rice.

 

Simmer this mixture over medium heat, stirring

frequently so that it doesn't stick to the

bottom and burn (this takes around an hour

or so, you must remain vigilant preparing

this dessert as it will stick and burn easily,

especially when it gets to it's thickened

state).

 

Divide into individual serving containers and

let cool.

 

Refrigerate and serve sprinkled with cinnamon.
