3 cups whole milk
½ cup heavy cream
⅓ cup granulated sugar
¼ tsp salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
1 tsp vanilla extract

For serving

½ tsp ground cinnamon, for serving (optional)
1 tbsp unsalted butter (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the rice and water in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the water is almost fully absorbed, about 8–10 minutes.
2
Add the whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, and salt to the saucepan. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent the milk from scorching on the bottom.
