Originating from the vibrant culinary traditions of Mexico, this dish has become a popular favorite among home cooks and restaurant-goers seeking an authentic Mexican experience.

ARROZ CON LECHE
Steps:
- Soak the rice, cinnamon sticks, lemon zest and whole cloves in the water in a heavy saucepan for 1 hour.
- After soaking, bring the rice mixture to a boil on high heat, uncovered. When it starts to boil (about 5 minutes), lower the heat to medium and cook for 10 to 12 more minutes or until water is almost evaporated.
- While rice is cooking, beat the egg in a bowl. Add the milk and stir well to mix. Add the egg mixture, vanilla extract and condensed milk to the rice and cook over medium-low heat, stirring carefully, until it thickens slightly or until desired consistency, about 25 to 35 minutes.
- Let cool uncovered.
- Note: be aware that as the rice cools it thickens. The finished product will be thinner than traditional rice pudding.
