How to Make Danish Sweet Rice

  1. Rinse the Arborio rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, milk, sugar, and salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for approximately 60-70 minutes, or until the rice is very tender and creamy, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with ground cinnamon and/or sliced almonds, if desired.
