Ingredient Substitutions
All is not lost if you don’t have everything listed in the ingredients! In the spirit of customizing a recipe, don’t be afraid to get creative by using some substitutions!
– No cinnamon sticks? Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon after preparing the rice.
– No evaporated milk? Evaporate the milk yourself! Measure out 60% more milk than necessary ( for this recipe, you´ll need a little more than 4 3/4 cups), bring milk to a boil, and reduce — stirring constantly to avoid burning.
– No sugar? Sub in brown sugar, panela, or raw sugar. You can also use honey, maple syrup, or agave; just remember that these alternatives are both sweeter and more viscous – so you may want to reduce the amount.
