How to make Argentinian Rice Leche

Step 1
In a saucepan, place the milk, cinnamon stick, and lemon peel. Only use the yellow part of the lemon peel, as this is the fragrant part. Avoid the white part since it's bitter.
Step 2
Bring to a boil and add the rice.
Step 3
Simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking. Stirring not only prevents sticking to the bottom but also helps the rice grain release some starch, making it creamier.
Step 4
Add the sugar and boil for another 15 minutes. Add sugar towards the end to maintain a lighter color of the preparation.
Step 5
Incorporate the heavy cream and let it boil again. Let it cool before serving, and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
