Definitely cook the rice with the milk and cinnamon sticks...also use pearl rice instead of long-grain. I added a 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon with the vanilla at the end...yummy! Enjoy!

This is the one!! I only changed the fact that I cooked the rice first in the milk then added the rest of the ingredients. Came out wonderful!

The rice never cooked correctley and it came out rather gummy. It seems there was something missing in the recipe directions.

Made this tonight for the family & they loved it. I did use fat free sweetened condensed milk, 2 qts of soy milk & 1 cup of splenda. The taste was great.
