- 400 ml milk (1 3/4 cup)
- 50 grams rice (1/4 cup)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 lemon zest peel optional
- to serve: cinnamon powder
Put all ingredients in a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil on medium-high heat. Cook uncovered, on low heat, or whatever temperature gets you a nice and gentle simmer.
Cook for 30-40 minutes, until the rice, is tender, and you get nice thick pudding. Stir occasionally with a whisk, on the bottom and around the edges of a saucepan.
Remove from the heat, remove lemon zest peel (if using), cover and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Serve warm with cinnamon or any topping of your choice.
