Before we begin, remember to be patient while the rice cooks, and resist the temptation to eat it all before it turns into creamy deliciousness!

1

Start Cooking the Rice

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine 1 cup of white rice, 2 cups of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

2

Simmer and Stir

Once the rice reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the water. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.

3

Add the Milk and Sugar

Next, pour in 4 cups of milk (you can use any type you like, but whole milk will give you the creamiest results) and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Stir everything together.

4

Infuse with Flavor

For an extra kick of flavor, you have some optional add-ins! Feel free to toss in a cinnamon stick, a splash of vanilla extract, and a pinch of nutmeg. Give it a good stir and bring the mixture to a simmer.

5

Cook Until Creamy

Let the rice pudding simmer gently for about 25-30 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom and to distribute the flavors evenly.

6

Serve and Enjoy

When the rice pudding is creamy and dreamy, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. You can enjoy it warm or refrigerate it for a few hours for a chilled treat. Serve it in bowls, sprinkle some cinnamon on top, and dive in!
