We called it rice cereal, it kind of just tastes like a sad horchata. It’s just day old rice, milk, some sugar, and cinnamon. Even though it isn’t mind blowingly good, it’s cheap and tasty when you’re broke af.

Rice, butter instead of milk, sugar or honey, cinnamon, and sometimes raisins.

Loved this as a kid and still have it now and then. I actually prefer it with hot rice.

My grandma taught me this! She grew up in the depression era. She also told me as a treat back in the day she would use stale cornbread put it in a glass and top it with milk and sugar.

I ate it then and I eat it now. I usually add some walnuts and sometimes dried fruit.

Oh yeah, and I loved it.

Heck yes. Still do. I intentionally make extra just to have “rice with milk”.

Yes, it’s actually a Mexican dessert that we make with condensed milk, evaporated milk, and whole milk in a pot. So so good

You’re the first person I’ve seen who did this besides my family. My sister and I grew up eating rice with milk and sugar for breakfast. Never day-old, though. Our rice was hot and fresh.

I used to have this with Cinnamon and sugar when I was younger (late 80s early 90s) . As a kid, We could not afford milk nor had the ability to refrigerate actual cows milk. So, I ate it with canned evaporated milk that was watered down or used powdered skim milk that was reconstituted. *edited to clarify

This is that childhood food, I still crave it from time to time.

Yes, my grandmother would make it for me. We would call it breakfast rice. But she made it with fresh rice. It was a special treat that she would make just for me & her.

I ate this… I had phases of liking and not liking it.

Yup, in Guatemala it’s called arroz en leche and I love it. It’s a common breakfast food or snack. Milk, cinnamon, pinch of salt and raisins 🫰🏼

dad made this every time we had leftover rice from chinese takeout the night before! my absolute favorite meal when i was little and i think about it all the time. so many happy, warm memories associated with this dish
sweetpeastacy
Ummmmm I still do this now, and I’m 37 lol! Raisins, cinnamon, sugar, vanilla, & milk!

Arroz con leche. I thought it was fairly common. My Guatemalan mother made it all the time with leftover rice bc…who really likes plain leftover rice?

One of my Grandmas cooked white rice in milk on the stove top with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and raisins. We ate it hot with a splash of cold milk. She called it Lazy Rice Pudding.
My other Grandma made custard-based rice pudding that went in the oven. Much more rich and decadent. Both were delicious.
