Recipe Notes
- Add a couple of whole cloves with the cinnamon stick for extra flavor.
- If you don’t have sweetened condensed milk substitute with sugar.
- Warm up the regular milk in the microwave this helps the rice cook evenly.
- Stir the rice occasionally after adding the three milks to prevent burning.
