Ingredients
- 1 cup long grain rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 2 1/2 cup low fat milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 lemon peel
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp. milk

- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
Remember to wash your hands!
Bring water to boil in heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add rice, stir and let water come to boil again. Reduce heat to very low. Cover saucepan tightly and cook 15-18 minutes without removing lid or stirring rice. This helps rice absorb water and become tender. You want the rice to be al dente.
Add the Add the milk, sugar, lemon peel and vanilla. Stir again and allow the rice pudding to come to another boil.
Make a slurry with the corn starch and two tablespoons of milk and add it to the rice. Stir through and cook for another five minutes.
Once the mixture has completely thickened serve it in individual bowls and sprinkle with cinnamon to taste.
Serve warm or refrigerated.
