- 1 tablespoon raw sugar (or to taste)

How to Make It:
-
In a medium saucepan, bring your lactose-free or coconut milk just to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Lower the heat, stir in your rice and cinnamon stick, and let it simmer.
-
Add your sugar while the mixture simmers. Stir gently to keep things smooth.
-
Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring often. You’re aiming for soft rice and a creamy texture. Add more milk if it gets too thick.
