Ingredients

• 150 grams Arborio rice
• 1 liter Low-fat milk (1%)
• 1 piece Vanilla bean
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 pinch Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the Arborio rice under cold water to remove excess starch until the water runs clear.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 1 liter of low-fat milk.

Step 3

Slice the vanilla bean in half lengthwise, and scrape the seeds out using the back of a knife. Add both the seeds and the pod to the saucepan.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar and salt to the milk and rice mixture.

Step 5

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.

Step 6

Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the vanilla bean pod. Stir in the lemon zest for a fresh, subtle flavor.

Step 8

Allow the Riz au Lait to cool slightly before serving. It will continue to thicken as it cools.

Step 9

Serve warm or chilled, garnished with a pinch of ground cinnamon, if desired.
