How to Make Orange Flavoured Rice Pudding With Orange Cinnamon Syrup

  1. Rinse 1 cup Arborio rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until most of the water is absorbed. Stir gently halfway through.
  4. Stir in 2 cups whole milk and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Gently simmer uncovered for 15 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is creamy and tender.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon orange zest and 1/4 cup orange juice.
  6. While the rice pudding simmers, prepare the syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water.
  7. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
  8. Add 1/2 teaspoon orange zest and 1 cinnamon stick. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the zest is translucent and the syrup has slightly thickened.
  9. Carefully stir in 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice. Cook for another 30 seconds.
  10. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool slightly.
  11. Pour the cooled syrup over the rice pudding in a serving bowl. Garnish with extra orange zest and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
  12. Serve warm or chilled.
