Arroz con Leche I

==Description==
This dessert is delicious with Spanish dessert wines. 
==Ingredients==
* 1 liter milk
* 200 grams of short round arborio rice (or paella rice / risotto rice)
* 100 grams of sugar (white or brown, depending on preference)
* 250 ml water
* 1 teaspoon of salt
* grated zest of one lemon
* ground cinnamon
* 1 cinnamon stick (for boiling)
* cinnamon sticks (for garnish) 
==Directions==
# Place the water, rice, cinnamon stick, lemon zest, salt and sugar in a saucepan or pot and bring to a boil.
# When boiling, lower heat, cover and let simmer until the water is nearly all absorbed (keep checking every minute, so as not to burn).
# Add the milk when most of the water has absorbed and continue cooking until the rice is extra tender and “bloated”.
# Stir and the texture should be creamy.
# Add a splash more milk if necessary (whole fat).
# Remove the cinnamon stick.
# Serve the arroz con leche warm (or chilled), and garnish with cinnamon powder on top and cinnamon sticks on the side.
