Instructions

Heat milk and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
When the milk simmers, skim any skin, then add rice and stir. Increase heat to maintain a lively simmer, cooking for about 8 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.
Cover the pot, reduce heat, and stir occasionally for 5-7 minutes.
Uncover and continue cooking, stirring frequently, for 9-11 more minutes until the rice is done and the pudding thickens to your preference.
Remove from heat, then stir in sugar, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt, adjusting sugar to taste.
Serve hot, at room temperature, or chilled, optionally sprinkled with cinnamon.
