RICE PUDDING

-Rice Pudding 

-Ingredients: 

1/2 lb long grain white rice 
1 1/2 cup water 
8 cups 2% low fat milk (you can use only evaporated milk instead or mix it half and half) 
1 cinnamon stick 
1 1/2 cup sugar 
1/2 teaspoon salt 
1 lemon peel 
Ground cinnamon 

-Directions: 
To prepare this arroz con leche recipe, clean the rice, wash it and leave it in water for half an hour, then drain it. Put the 1 1/2 cup water in a cast aluminium caldero or a stainless steal pot on medium heat. When the water starts to boil, add the rice, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. When the water consumes, pour the milk slowly and add the cinnamon stick. Stir occasionally. 
When the rice is tender, add the sugar, salt and the lemon peel. Cook on medium low heat for 15 to 20 minutes more (it depends on how thick you like the pudding). Serve your rice pudding and sprinkle some ground cinnamon to decorate. The cinnamon add a delicious taste. 
You can enjoy this dominican rice pudding recipe just after serving, but I love it chilled.
