Arroz Con Leche

1 Comment

Arroz con Leche - 'milk with rice' - is a classic Mexican dessert. It can be served hot or chilled.

Ingredients

1/4 kg rice (1/2 lb)
250 milliliter
1 cinnamon stick, 4 cm (1 1/2 inches)
1 piece lemon peel
75 g sugar (2 1/2 oz)
1/4 ts salt
1 1/4 milk (5 cups)
ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Put the rice, water, cinnamon stick, lemon peel, sugar and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer on a low fire until the water is nearly absorbed, about 8 minutes. Then add the milk and continue cooking until the rice is very tender.

2. There should be enough liquid left to give a creamy consistency to this dessert. Remove cinnamon and lemon rind. Serve dusted thickly with cinnamon. Serve hot or chilled.
