ARROZ CON LECHE:
 
1/2 cup rice (rinsed)
1 1/2 cups water
1 cinnamon stick
rind of 1/2 lime (in large pieces)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups milk
1 can condensed milk
Cinnamon (powdered)
 
Bring 1-1/2 cup of water to a boil with the lime rind and cinnamon
stick. Add the 1/2 cup of rice and reduce heat, simmering the rice
until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the water. Remove cinnamon
stick and lime rind. 

Combine the 4 cups milk, 1 can condensed milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt
and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and add to the cooked rice. Simmer
this mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently so that it
doesn't stick to the bottom and burn (this takes around an hour or
so, you must remain vigilant preparing this dessert as it will
stick and burn easily, especially when it gets to it's thickened
state).  Divide into individual serving containers and let cool.
Refrigerate and serve sprinkled with cinnamon.
