Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup rice Use medium-grain or short-grain rice for a creamier texture.
  • 2 cups milk For a richer taste, consider adding a bit of heavy cream.

  • 1/2 cup raisins (optional) Can substitute with nuts or chocolate.

Preparation
  1. Cook rice according to the package instructions and set it aside.
  2. In a saucepan, combine milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium until warm.
