Arroz con leche is a traditional Spanish rice pudding dessert made with rice, milk, sugar, lemon zest, and cinnamon. While originating in Muslim-conquered Spain, versions of this dessert can now be found throughout Spanish-speaking countries and northern Europe. To make it, rice is simmered in milk seasoned with lemon zest and cinnamon sticks then sweetened with sugar and chilled overnight so the rice fully absorbs the milk.
