Maggie's Great Grandma's Arroz con Leche

Serves about 10

1 cup of rice – short grain or Valencia rice
(note she used a coffee mug that was about 1 ½ measuring cups)
3 cups water
3 cups whole milk
1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup sugar (she added about 2/3 of the coffee mug)
1 tsp vanilla
Cinnamon


Boil rice and water for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently until rice starts to get tender. Add whole milk and continue to cook until rice is tender, stirring frequently. If rice is not tender enough, add a little more milk and continue cooking. Rice should be shiny.

Add canned milk, cook until milk is thickened, stirring constantly. Add sugar a little at a time until you get the desired sweetness.

Pour into individual bowls and sprinkle top with cinnamon. Tastes best when served warm!
