How to make it
- 1
Rinse the rice. In a pot combine rice, water, and the cinnamon stick. Simmer 10 minutes until the water is absorbed.
- 2
Stir in whole milk and evaporated milk. Cook on medium-low 25 minutes, stirring often so it does not stick, until the rice is very soft.

Stir in condensed milk and vanilla. Cook 5 minutes more. It should be creamy, not dry — it thickens as it cools.

Remove the cinnamon. Serve warm or cold, with a pinch of ground cinnamon on top.
