Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of rice

- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 4 cups of milk
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

Instructions
- Cook the rice in a pot by bringing the water to a boil and adding the rice. Cook for 15 minutes until tender, then drain any excess water.

- Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens further.
- Add the cinnamon and raisins (if using) after removing from heat.
- Serve warm or chilled.
Notes
For a creamier texture, consider using a richer milk, like whole or half-and-half. Experiment with different spices for unique flavors.
