Instructions

Start simmering milk and water in a large pot over medium-low heat.
Stir in rice and cinnamon sticks; continue simmering, stirring occasionally, until the rice softens (20-30 minutes).
Discard cinnamon sticks. Stir in condensed milk, vanilla, salt, and raisins.
Simmer until liquid is mostly absorbed and rice reaches a pudding-like consistency (10-15 minutes).
Serve hot, optionally with cinnamon or butter.
