Rinse and drain the rice, then boil it in water for 8 minutes.
Add the milk, sugar, and cinnamon, then lower the heat.
Cook the mixture for 20 minutes, scraping the bottom as you stir so the rice does not stick.
Remove the cinnamon stick; the rice grains should stay nestled in the cream.
Divide the dessert among bowls and serve with cinnamon.
💡 Tip: Stir more often in the final stage so the rice does not catch on the bottom.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm or cold in bowls, sprinkled with cinnamon.
