- Put water to boil at high heat along with a cinnamon stick. Once the water boils, remove the cinnamon stick and add the rice with the whole milk for a creamier base.
- Low the heat without moving the rice and add a bit of peel of lime for a special touch. Then, let it cook until the rice is almost done when there is still some milk on top. When it reaches this point, add the evaporated and the condensed milk.
- Once you mix everything thoroughly, carve the creamy inside half of a vanilla bean and add it to the mix. Mix very well and add half of a vanilla bean.
- Move the mixture with a spat, so all the ingredients are well incorporated.
