Riz au lait de Christophe Michalak

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

In a large saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, milk, sugar, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan.

Simmer for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened.

If using, stir in the raisins during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Let the rice pudding cool slightly before serving.

Serve warm or chilled, garnished with additional cinnamon if desired.
