Steps:
- In a heavy bottomed, 3 quart sauce pan, combine the milk, water, sugar, cinnamon stick and rice. Stir to combine.
- Bring to an intense simmer (just below boiling) over medium high heat, stirring often. Reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer and continue cooking, stirring often until the rice is tender, about 35 to 45 minutes. Some liquid will remain. The mixture should have the consistency of a thin oatmeal but will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Remove from heat and remove the cinnamon stick. Stir in the vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract and raisins, if using.
- Spoon the rice pudding into individual ramekins or small containers OR transfer to a large serving dish. Let the pudding cool slightly before serving or let cool to room temperature, cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 1 day in advance.
- Just before serving, top with freshly grated cinnamon or ground cinnamon. Pudding can be enjoyed warm or cooled.

Tips:
- Use high-quality rice. Short-grain or medium-grain rice is best for rice pudding because it has a high starch content, which makes it creamy and thick.
- Rinse the rice before cooking. This will remove any excess starch and help prevent the rice from becoming gummy.
- Use whole milk or cream for a richer flavor. You can also use a combination of milk and water, but the pudding will be less creamy.
- Add sugar to taste. The amount of sugar you add will depend on your personal preference and the type of rice you are using.
- Stir the pudding frequently while it is cooking. This will help prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan and scorching.
- Let the pudding cool slightly before serving. This will allow it to thicken and set.

Rice pudding is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a versatile dessert that can be served warm or cold, and can be topped with a variety of fruits, nuts, or spices.
