Arroz con leche

Arroz con leche is a flavorful dessert with a long history, dating back to the period when Spain was under the Moorish influence. Today, this rice pudding is popular in Spain (especially in the North) and throughout Latin America, always consisting of a few key ingredients: cooked rice, milk, sugar, cinnamon sticks for flavoring, and either lemon or orange peel. Some are baked in the oven, while the others are made on the stovetop. The dessert can be served warm or cold, and it is recommended to garnish it with some ground cinnamon on top.
