Rice with Milk Recipe
Rice with Milk
It has been months since we were in Mexico and the Mexico program has ended, but I still want to share one of my favorite Mexican desserts with you. It is an adaptation to the original. This is my favorite version.
There are so many variations on this that it is not clear where the original comes from. In France, you have milk rice and you can find this simple dessert in almost all countries in Latin America.
Incidentally, you can also make the rice with milk very well with leftover rice. I sometimes cook too much rice and you can use that the next day to make the rice pudding. For flavor, I always add a cinnamon stick and one or two pieces of star anise. I let it drag along during cooking and that gives it a delicious taste.

You can then serve the rice with milk hot or cold. It is also very nice to serve it with some fresh fruit. Here I used banana, but of course, you can also use fresh strawberries.
Add some raisins or dried cranberries to the boil as soon as you add the almond milk. That is even better!
You can of course also make this with regular milk, but the almond milk makes this a lactose-free version of the rice with milk!
