Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup uncooked white rice 🍚
- 4 cups whole milk 🥛
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt 🧂
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional) 🌿
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, rice, sugar, and salt. Stir to mix.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

- Serve warm or chilled, topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, substitute whole milk with half-and-half or add a splash of heavy cream.

- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
