Preparation time 30 minutes<\/p>\n

INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Serves 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

1\/4 cup pudding rice (any rice will do as long as its not basmati <\/em>rice)<\/p>\n

500 ml fresh milk or UHT milk (you can also use low-fat milk)<\/p>\n

DIRECTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lightly wash the rice and place in a non-stick saucepan together with the orange rind, sugar, cinnamon stick and half the milk and cook on medium heat.<\/p>\n

Stir often and keep adding the rest of the milk making sure that its always \u201cSOUP not CONGEE\u201d. Simple explanation \u2013 don\u2019t let it get thick. If it becomes congee, it will stick to the pan.<\/p>\n

When all the milk is used up, allow to gently boil for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is soft. It should be soupy \u2013 once it has cooled down it will be come thicker. If its not soupy, add more milk and heat again for awhile.<\/p>\n

Remove cinnamon stick and lemon peel and allow it to cool. Once it has cooled down, place in a serving bowl or individual dessert bowls and chill in the fridge for at least an hour. <\/p>\n

To serve, sprinkle cinnamon powder and decorate with a piece or orange rind or cinnamon stick. <\/p>\n
