Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice thoroughly until the water runs clear. In a large pot, bring the rice with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the water is almost completely absorbed.
  2. Add the milk, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, and nutmeg. Stir well.
  3. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the mixture is thick and creamy (about 40-50 minutes).
  4. Remove the cinnamon stick and stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the rice pudding into individual serving bowls and let cool. Chill for at least 2 hours.
  6. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon before serving.
