Notes
Make ahead of time. Store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for a few days. Reheat it in a pot and add a bit more cinnamon to the top before serving.
Variations. For a more intense cinnamon-flavored rice pudding, add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in Step 2 when adding the milks. You can also add raisins at this point if you wish.
Toppings. Try topping each serving with a sprinkle of brown sugar, nutmeg, or coconut or with a drizzle of honey.
