2 cups arborio rice (you could substitute a medium grain rice, wouldn't be quite the same, but it'd still taste good)
4 cups milk
2 cups water (plus extra if necessary)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon (to taste)
1 package fresh blueberries
In a saucepan heat the milk, water, vanilla extract, and salt until steaming (but not boiling - you don't want to scorch it). Add the rice and a cup of the liquid to another saucepan, and stir until the liquid is absorbed. Repeat until all the liquid has been used, and the rice is done but al dente (about 30-45 min) stirring constantly. If necessary (if all the liquid is gone but the rice still isn't as done as you like it) add a little more water to the empty liquid pan, heat and use it to get the rice to the doneness you enjoy. Stir in the butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and blueberries. Serve.
