- Add the 2 c milk, can of sweetened condensed milk, can of evaporated milk, and the other cinnamon stick into the pot. Cover again and cook on a low heat for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Keep stirring so that the milk does not burn on the bottom of the pot.

- Let the rice cool for 15 minutes. Serve warm or refrigerated, topping with raisins if desired.
Notes
- Recipe copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational and personal use only.
- Recipe was made using an 8 qt pot.
- Use Long Grain White Rice if you can. You can also sub Jasmine rice if necessary. Wash your rice before adding it into the pot.
- I use 2% milk. You can also use whole milk if you’d prefer! I would not recommend using skim or lowfat milk, as it will make the Arroz con Leche too thin.
- This comes in a can, normally in the baking aisle.
- There shouldn’t be much extra water left over after the first 15 minutes of cooking the rice. Tilt the pan to make sure that most of the water is absorbed. There should only be a few tablespoons of water left if there is any at all. If there is more than this, cover the rice again and cook for a few more minutes.
- If there is still a little bit of extra water in the rice, do not drain it before adding the milk.
- For even more cinnamon flavor, let the cinnamon stick boil in the water by itself for a few minutes before adding the rice (almost like you’re making
- Cinnamon Tea
- !)
- Don’t skip the resting step at the end of the recipe! It is important for the texture of the dish.
