Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice rinsed
- 2 cup water
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 2 cup whole milk
- 12 oz evaporated milk 1 can

Preparation Steps
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed white rice, water, and cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the water is absorbed.
- Remove the cinnamon sticks. Stir in the whole milk, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of salt.
- Cook uncovered over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for 15-20 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes very creamy.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Serve warm or chilled, garnished with ground cinnamon.
Notes
For the best texture, make sure to stir frequently during the final cooking stage to prevent the milk from scorching at the bottom of the pan.
