Instructions

Begin by adding milk to a nonstick sauce pot.
2 quart Whole Milk
Bring the milk to a high simmer (almost boiling). Once the milk is hot and bubbling, add your rice and stir. Continue to cook for 10-15 minutes.
10 ounce Long Grain Rice
Stir frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
While rice is cooking, zest ¼ of a whole orange and set aside.
Once rice begins to fluff in the milk, add the orange peel and vanilla extract to the mixture. Continue stirring and cooking your mixture so that it does not stick on the bottom.
2 tbsp Vanilla Extract, ¼ whole Orange Zest
Once the rice thickens and milk reduces, add the sugar and stir.
10 ounce Sugar
Continue to cook until the mixture thickens. Turn off the stove and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Using a ladle, begin to pour mixture into a glass rectangular container or a portion size of choice.
Begin to sprinkle cinnamon on top of rice pudding and place the portions in the refrigerator for minimum 1hr.
2 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
