How to Make Arroz Con Leche Rice With Milk

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 6-7 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the milk has thickened slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract (if using).
  6. Serve warm, topped with your favorite additions like raisins or a cinnamon stick. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
