Ingredients

🍚 1 cup of white rice
💧 4 cups of water
🌿 1 cinnamon stick
🍬 1 tablespoon of sugar
🥛 1 cup of whole milk
🥛 1/2 can of condensed milk

Instructions

1- Prep the Ingredients:

• Start by measuring out all your ingredients. This ensures a smooth cooking process.

2- Boil the Rice:

• In a large pot, combine 1 cup of white rice, 4 cups of water, 1 cinnamon stick, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Place the pot over high heat. Once it reaches a rolling boil, continue boiling for 15 minutes. This allows the rice to fully cook and absorb the flavors of cinnamon and sugar.

3- Remove the Cinnamon Stick:

• After 15 minutes, remove the cinnamon stick from the pot. It's imparted its lovely flavor to the rice.

4- Add the Milks:

• Reduce the heat to low. Stir in 1 cup of whole milk and half a can of condensed milk into the rice. Stir the mixture continuously to prevent any burning or sticking.

5- Simmer to Perfection:

• Let the mixture simmer on low for an additional 10 minutes. This cooking time allows the mixture to become thick and creamy.

6- Serve and Enjoy:

• Once done, you can serve the arroz con leche either warm or cold. It's a delightful dessert any way you choose to enjoy it.
