Instructions

Combine the water, rinsed 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 mostly absorbed and the rice is beginning to soften, about 8–10 minutes.

Pour in the whole milk, add the salt, and increase the heat to medium, stirring to combine. Once the mixture reaches a gentle simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook uncovered, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, until the pudding is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon and a finger drawn through leaves a slow-closing line, about 30–35 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain a gentle bubble — do not let it boil hard.
