👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Rinse the rice well. In a pot, bring the milk with the cinnamon stick to a boil and add the rice.
    StovePot
  2. 2
    Add the lemon zest to the pot.
  3. 3
    Turn down to low and simmer, stirring often, for about 25 minutes, until the rice is soft and the mixture creamy.
    ⚙ SimmeringStove
    💡Stir often, and toward the end almost nonstop: the rice starch thickens the milk, and the bottom burns easily.
    💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
  4. 4
    Add the sugar, butter, vanilla and salt and stir.
  5. 5
    Pour into serving bowls and sprinkle the cinnamon on top.

  6. 6
    Serve hot.
