Add the water, lemon peel, and rice to a pot. Bring to a boil over high heat and let the water evaporate.

Once the water has evaporated, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the milk and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender. This will take about 45 minutes.

When the rice is soft, remove the lemon peel, add the sugar, and increase the heat until it comes to a boil.

Once it boils, remove from heat, serve, and let it rest for about an hour.

After resting, it will be creamy. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon and it's ready to eat.
