Sweet Rice is a rice pudding that can be served hot or cold.

Ingredients

• 3 cups (700 ml) water
• 1 1/2 cups (350 g) white rice
• 1 1/2 tins (about 2 1/2 cups) (about 600 g) evaporated milk
• 2 tins (2 1/2 cups) (about 600 g) condensed milk
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1 Tbsp. (5 ml) vanilla essence
• 4 Tbsp. (20 ml) raisins (optional)

Procedure

1. Bring water to a boil.
2. Pour in rice, boil until very soft. Most of the water should be absorbed by the rice. Add more water if necessary.
3. Add evaporated milk, condensed milk, cinnamon sticks, and vanilla essence.
4. Put in medium heat. Stir once in awhile to prevent sticking.
5. When mixture has thickened and reached a pudding-like consistency, remove from heat.
6. Add raisins. Stir.
7. Let stand.
