# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Grab your short-grain or Arborio rice and wash it in a strainer under cold tap water till the water looks clear.
02 -
Pour your washed rice into a big pot with milk, sugar, and salt. Give it all a good stir.
03 -
Turn your burner to medium and let everything warm up until it bubbles gently. Stir now and then so nothing sticks to the bottom.
04 -
When you see those tiny bubbles, turn the heat down low. Add your vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg while stirring.
05 -
Keep cooking for around 30-35 minutes, making sure to stir often. You want the rice soft and the mix nice and creamy.
06 -
If you want dried fruits or raisins, toss them in during the final 10 minutes of cooking. Mix them in gently.
07 -
For a bit of tang, scrape some lemon peel into your pudding just before you take it off the heat.
08 -
Take the pot off the stove when everything looks good. Eat it hot right away, or let it cool down before putting it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes if you like it cold.
09 -
When you're ready to eat, dust with extra cinnamon and pop some mint leaves on top if you want.
