Traditional Rice Pudding

Instructions

1. Start the Rice
   In a pot, combine rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil.

2. Add Milk + Simmer
   Stir in the milk and sugar. Reduce heat to low.

3. Cook Slowly
   Simmer 35–45 minutes, stirring often so it doesn’t stick.
   It will thicken as the rice absorbs the milk.

4. Finish
   Stir in vanilla (and cinnamon if using).
   If you like raisins, add them during the last 10 minutes.

5. Serve
   Enjoy warm, or chill it for a thicker, cold version.

If you want, I can also give you:
• a baked rice pudding version
• a creamier, richer version
• a stovetop quick version
