150 g glase rice 1 liter whole milk 2-3 lemon peels 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 Pinch of salt 50 g corn flour 160 g sugar 2 tbsp cinnamon (for serving)

In a pot with 1 liter of room temperature water, boil the rice for 20 minutes until tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.

Add the cooked rice to the milk and increase heat to medium-high.

Pour into 6 small bowls and let cool. Serve sprinkled with cinnamon.
