Preparation

Add the milk, rice, sugar, cinnamon stick and vanilla bean to a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally to prevent rice from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan. Cook until rice is soft and tender, about 30 to 35 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes.

Serve warm or cold. Garnish with almonds and dried apricots.
