Welcome to the show, today we're making arroz con leche.

Gather all ingredients: rice, milk, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, cinnamon, lemon, and cloves.

Start by adding a little water to a pot to create a syrup with sugar and spices.

Add the sugar to the water and let it cook to release the aromas.

Once the syrup is ready, add the milk and rice to the pot.

Cover the pot and cook on high heat.

Peel the lemon to get the zest, avoiding the white part to prevent bitterness.

Add the lemon zest to the mixture for a citrus flavor.

Let the mixture cook, stirring occasionally, and check the sweetness.

Add sweetened condensed milk to enhance the flavor.

Cut the lemon zest into smaller pieces for better infusion.

Optionally, add raisins to the mixture for extra flavor.

Cook until the rice is tender and creamy, then remove from heat.
