Ingredients

  • 7 cupswater
  • 1 cuplong-grain white rice
  • 2cinnamon sticks
  • 1can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1can evaporated milk
  • 1 cupwhole milk
  • ground cinnamon, (for topping)

Directions

  1. 1

    Combine water, rice, and cinnamon sticks in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, uncovered, and cook for 16–18 minutes.

  2. 2

    Drain any remaining liquid, remove the cinnamon sticks, and return the rice to the pan over medium-high heat. Add sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk, and bring to a boil.

  3. 3

    Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring regularly. The milk can easily burn, so it is important to stir frequently as it thickens.
