Add this to a saucepan with the remaining milk, condensed milk, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, vanilla and a good pinch of salt. Stir until smooth, then bring to a simmer. Turn down to very low heat and leave to gently infuse while the rice cooks.
• When the rice is cooked, drain well, then add to the warm milk mixture. Turn up the heat and bubble until thick and creamy - this will take about 20-25 mins.
