RICE AND MILK (Arroz con leche).
A homely dish, yet one of the most
difficult to accomplish to perfection.
1/2
lb. Valencia or Carolina rice
2 qts. milk
34
lb. sug'ar
piece of stick cinnamon
peel of half a lime or lemon.
Wash rice throughly in several
waters. Put on to boil with three cups
wfuer until the g'rain is quite cooked. When
tile water is absorbed, add .milk a little at a
time and flavoring, stirring occasionally. It
. takes a long' time and much patience
· to make this dish. When all the milk
has been absorbed and the mixture is
creamy, add sugar. Cook a while longer.
