Rice with milk (arroz con leche), typical South American dessert creamy and scented with cinnamon, a real treat!
To prepare the rice with milk, we soak the rice for 2 hours.
After this time, wash the rice and transfer it to a pan with the water (1 liter), the cinnamon sticks, the lemon zest, the orange zest and the sugar. Let it boil until the rice is cooked (if the grain tends to fall apart between the fingers, the rice is ready).
At this point, add the milk and raisins, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Let it boil for 4/5 minutes and when cooked, sprinkle with a little ground cinnamon.
Your spoon dessert is ready to taste! How tasty!
If we want to obtain an even creamier dessert, dissolve cornstarch (1 tablespoon) in a little milk and add a little condensed milk (150 g) while cooking with raisins.
