Instructions
- In a medium pot bring water to boil.
- Add rice, salt, cinnamon stick and lemon zest.
- Cover and simmer 16 minutes, or until tender.
- Meanwhile, add milk and sugar to a large pot and cook until hot and the sugar dissolves when whisked.
- Stir a few spoonfuls of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks, to temper them.
- Add these tempered balls of sunshine back into the hot milk mixture and whisk to combine.
- Now, add the cooked rice (with cinnamon stick and lemon peel) to the milk mixture.
- Cook at a gentle simmer until thickened enough to stand a spoon up into it. About 35-40 minutes.
- Garnish with cinnamon, lemon zest, raisins, and – or – almonds.
