Ingredients

• 1 cup White rice (uncooked, preferably medium- or short-grain)
• 2 cups Water
• 3 cups Whole milk
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Butter (optional, for extra richness)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the white rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and ensures a better texture.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.

Step 3

Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the rice simmer for 10 minutes, or until most of the water is absorbed.

Step 4

Stir in the milk and sugar, then return the heat to medium. Simmer gently, stirring frequently, for 12-15 minutes or until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency. Be careful not to let the milk scorch on the bottom of the pan.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and butter (if using) to enhance the flavor and richness.

Step 6

Ladle the sweet rice cereal into bowls. Optionally, sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon for garnish.

Step 7

Serve warm and enjoy this comforting, homemade cereal. You can top with fresh fruit, nuts, or raisins for variation if desired.
