Lemon Zest Tips
When zesting the rind (colorful portion of the lemon) off your lemon, be sure not to zest the pith which is the white membrane over the lemon.
Lemon gives this rice such a burst of beautiful flavor. I used two lemons which made about one tablespoon since I really love the flavor, however, you can dial it down to just one large lemon zest if you prefer.
Optional Topping
You can top this with whipped cream and extra cinnamon for a decadent dessert.
Storing the Rice Pudding
You can leave it at room temperature for the day (it tastes yummy warm or cold), but I recommend refrigerating any leftovers or rice you might not need until the next day. Simply cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days. This does not freeze well.
