2. Bring the rice to a boil13 min
In a pot over medium heat, pour in 1 liter of water, then add the rice along with the cinnamon stick. Stir to combine, and once it comes to a boil, cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and cook for approximately 12 minutes or until the rice has a soft texture and the water has been completely absorbed, as shown in the image.
3. Season the rice pudding
Once the rice is ready, pour in the whole milk, stir, and then add condensed milk, evaporated milk, a small strip of lemon peel, and nutmeg.
4. Cook the rice pudding
Now, over low heat, keep stirring constantly until it begins to boil or reaches a creamy consistency; then turn off the heat. Halfway through cooking, remove the cinnamon and lemon zest.
5. Add vanilla and butter
Finally, add the vanilla and butter, then mix until they are fully incorporated.
6. Ready to serve
You have prepared rice pudding, ready to serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
