Ingredients:
4 cups rice milk
3 strips (3 x ½ in or 7.5 x 1 cm each) orange zest
3 strips (3 x ½ in or 7.5 x 1 cm each) lime zest
1 cinnamon stick, split lengthwise
½ tsp salt
½ cup basmati, jasmine, or texmati rice

bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together sugar and egg yolks.
3. Uncover rice and cook, stirring frequently, for 15 minutes, or until rice is very tender. Whisk some
