Add 1 and 3/4 cups of water to a pot and place it on medium heat.

Add 2 cinnamon sticks and 1 and 1/4 cups of long grain rice to the pot.

Once the water comes to a boil, cover the pot with a lid and reduce heat to low, cooking for another 10 to 15 minutes.

After 10 to 15 minutes, remove the lid and check the texture of the rice, ensuring it is not too mushy.

If the rice is crunchy, cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until soft or al dente.

Place the burner on simmer and add 3 cups of milk, 1 can of evaporated milk, 1 cup of sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt to the pot, combining all ingredients.

Continue to cook on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is well combined and cooked.

For those who like raisins, add 1/2 cup of soaked raisins at this point, or add them individually later.
