Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups water
½ cinnamon stick
2 ¼ cups uncooked white rice
4 cups whole milk

Steps:

  • Combine water and cinnamon stick in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until cinnamon releases its color and flavor, about 5 minutes. Add rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
