Ingredients:

• 125 g (4.4 oz) of Carolino rice
• 350 ml (11.8 fl oz) of water
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 700 ml (23.7 fl oz) of almond milk
• 400 ml (13.5 fl oz) of coconut milk
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1 can (397 g or 14 oz) of coconut condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 2 heaped tablespoons of brown sugar
• Ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. In a small pot, add water, salt, and rice.
   Stir and let it cook on low heat for about 15 minutes until the water has evaporated.
   Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the pot.
2. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine almond milk, coconut milk, and cinnamon sticks.
   Heat on low until it comes to a boil.
   When it begins to boil, add the cooked rice and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. After the time has passed and as the mixture begins to thicken, add the coconut condensed milk, coconut oil, and brown sugar.
   Stir and bring to a boil.
4. Once the rice is creamy, finally add the lemon zest.
   Stir and let it boil for a few more minutes until the rice reaches the desired consistency.
   Note that the rice will become even creamier once it cools.
5. Divide the rice into small bowls and store in the refrigerator.
   When ready to serve, sprinkle with cinnamon to taste.
