Puerto Rican Arroz Con Leche (Rice With Milk)
In Puerto Rico this recipe is simply a rice soup made with milk. Usually made for babies, children, or when someone has a bad stomach. It is a comfort food.

Just like my mom's. When my kids were little my mom would make this for them and now whenever they need Abuela's comfort this is the go to recipe. Today my son is home sick with an uneasy stomach and I needed a reference recipe. Thanks for including it. It's great to have the proportions since I forget them. We don't use sugar.1Replies 1
