Steps:
- Add the rice to a small pot with the almond milk, sugar, cinnamon stick, star anise, vanilla and a pinch of salt.
- Heat over medium until it begins to simmer, then reduce to medium-low, stirring occasionally to make sure the rice does not stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Cook for a total of 20 to 25 minutes if using short grain white rice, or 35 to 40 minutes if using arborio. The rice should be tender and look creamy and thick.
- In the last 5 minutes of cooking, when most of the liquid has absorbed, remove the cinnamon stick and star anise, and add the raisins.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, and serve immediately.
