      Well, I made this twice! First time I made it exactly as stated and it was good. However, I felt like something (FOR MY TASTES :-) ) was missing. So the next day I made it again using a bit of vanilla and a tad bit more sugar. HEAVEN! This is a marvelous recipe evelyn...I am very thankful that I found it. The lemon peel really adds such a marvelous flavor to the pudding, and I love the cinnamon sprinkled on top :-) thanks for this recipe!!!!! it'sa keepa!

      Thanks for posting, Evelyn; this is an awesome rice pudding! Hands-on time is minimal and it comes out with a great texture and flavor. I loved the subtle lemon flavor from the zest and it was sweet without being overpoweringly so. I made it as written with the exception of using cornstarch instead of cornflour (not sure if they're the same thing or not...I'm in the States and have never come across cornflour). It took mine closer to 50 minutes for the milk to be absorbed by the rice. I'm looking forward to making it again!

      Wicked good and easy to make. I love it with the lemon peel and vanilla. If yours comes out too "soupy" it is probably because you are not using the right kind of rice: make sure to use arborio or at the very least a short-grained rice. Thanks again, Evelyn!!!

      I believe there is an error with this recipe. It is normal procedure to use 2x the water as rice anytime making rice. However, this recipe calls foe 1/6 rice to milk (liquid). I think the recipe should call for 1 1/2 cups of rice to 3 cups of milk. I think then the recipe would not turn out "watery", or "tasting like lemon".
      It is also important to note that the lemon peel that is cooked with the mixture needs to be removed when cooking is complete. The lemon peel should be as long a peel as possible, so it is easier to locate and remove. The lemon peel only helps to limit some of the "greasiness" from the milk fat. It should not add a lemon flavor to the pudding. If the end result has a lemon flavor then either too much peel was added, or not removed, or something else was not properly done.
      I'll be trying this recipe with soy milk and will report my success, or not.

      I'm sorry but this did not come right for me.I have no problem following a recipe but this ended up to be a liquidy not like a pudding.I questioned the only half cup of rice but assumed it was correct.It ended up to be a lemon flavored milky/watery mixture with little rice.I liked the lemon peel cooked w/milk idea but later found the flavor needed something else despite the liquid result.

      Not too sweet just the way I like it. The lemon and vanilla complimented each other wonderfully.

      A wonderful authentic near-eastern recipe which was so creamy. For even higher calorific value I suggest that the sugar be increased by a dessertspoon, and to add one teaspoon of butter to the milk before boiling. Alternatively, i tried substituting a half cup of double cream for a half cup of the milk. It's the vanilla and the lemon that make this one so special. It's a winner Evelyn!!

      I didn't add any additional sugar or vanilla; however, I did cook it with short grain rice and vanilla soy milk. While it was cooking my thoughts were way to liquid. This set very nicely and I served it lightly chilled, sprinkled with cinnamon. It was not overly sweet and the subtle lemon flavor really adds to the dish. Evelyn, another winner!

      Evelyn: This is a wonderful dessert! So easy to make and not a long list of ingredients. I too add a little extra sugar and vanilla, and it was absolutely perfect! Thanks for sharing.

      I altered this slightly in the fact that I added 1/2 tsp of almond extract. My family loved it. Thank you!
