1

Soak 1 tablespoon of rice overnight.

2

In a high pot, add 1 liter of milk and 1 pound of sugar (or 2 cups) with a little vanilla essence and cinnamon.

3

Stir to dissolve the sugar and bring to a gentle boil.

4

While the milk mixture heats, blend the soaked rice with 1/2 cup of clean water.

5

Strain the blended rice and add the strained liquid to the milk mixture.

6

Lower the heat and let it simmer gently, stirring to prevent sticking.

7

Remove the cinnamon stick or spice bag after the mixture has infused its flavor.

8

Continue to stir until the mixture thickens, ensuring it does not dry out or harden.

9

Take a small portion of the mixture and let it cool slightly to handle.

10

Dust your hands and the work surface with cornstarch or flour to prevent sticking.

11

Form small balls from the mixture, adjusting the size based on preference (smaller balls yield about 80-90, larger about 70).

12

If the mixture becomes too dry, add a little hot milk to rehydrate it.

13

If any balls are misshapen, you can reshape them by adding a bit of hot milk and reforming them.

14

Once all balls are shaped, wrap them in paper of your choice (seda, cometa, or celofán).
