Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened soy milk, measured 1:1. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in sauces, custards, and baked goods. For hot or acidic drinks, a barista-style soy milk resists curdling.
1 cup water
¾ cup medium-grain white rice, uncooked
1 cinnamon stick
1 strip lemon zest (about 3 inches), peeled with a vegetable peeler
½ cup sugar
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp vanilla extract

For serving

¼ tsp ground cinnamon, for serving

Instructions

1
Combine the water, rice, cinnamon stick, and lemon zest strip in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the water is almost fully absorbed, about 8–10 minutes.
2
Pour in 3 cups of the milk, add the salt, and increase the heat to medium. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, until the mixture thickens and the rice is very tender, about 25–30 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain a steady, gentle bubble — do not let it boil hard.
