Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 cup short-grain rice (sushi or Arborio)
4 cups whole milk
1 cup sugar
2 two-inch pieces of lemon peel
Ground cinnamon, for sprinkling

Steps:

In a large saucepan (4 to 6 quarts), combine the rice and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil, and then lower heat and simmer 10 minutes.
Add milk, sugar and lemon peel. Bring back to a boil, stirring frequently. Lower heat, continuing to stir, so milk simmers vigorously without bubbling over. Simmer until the liquid is reduced and thickened to a creamy consistency that will coat the back of a spoon, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir frequently to keep rice from sticking to bottom of pan.
Discard lemon peel. Spoon equal amounts of rice into four serving bowls, and let sit for a minute. Sprinkle with cinnamon, and serve.
