Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain it.
  2. In a large saucepan, bring the milk, coconut milk, cinnamon, cloves and salt to a simmer.
  3. Add the rice and simmer gently for 25 minutes, stirring often so it doesn't stick.
  4. Stir in the sugar and raisins, then cook for another 10 minutes until the rice is tender and the mixture is thick.
  5. Remove the cinnamon and cloves, then add the vanilla and rum if using.
  6. Pour into a dish, sprinkle with ground cinnamon and let it cool slightly before serving.

Variations and tips

Dairy-free version. Replace all the cow's milk with unsweetened coconut or almond milk.

Creamier version. Whisk 2 egg yolks in off the heat at the end of cooking.
