Preparation
Step 1
1. Wash the rice well in several changes of water, until the water runs clear
2. Place the rice, lime peel, cinnamon sticks, salt, and water in a large pot.
3. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and reduce the heat to the very lowest heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes, until the rice absorbs all the water.
4. In a large bowl, mix the whole milk, evaporated milk and the sweetened condensed milk.
5. Once the rice has completely absorbed the water, add the milk mixture to the rice pot.
6. Turn the heat to medium high, and stirring frequently, bring to a rolling boil.
7. Reduce the heat to low and allow the rice and milk to simmer for 1o minutes or so.
8. Check to see if the rice is tender. If so, add the sugar (more to taste), and simmer for 5 minutes.
9. Stir in the butter and the raisins, blending until everything is well-incorporated.
10. Turn off the heat, and either dust the entire pan with ground cinnamon to garnish, or garnish the individual servings.
11. Serve warm or cold.
