In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the cooked white rice, whole milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture gently to combine all ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir frequently to prevent the milk from burning or the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency. Stir continuously during the last few minutes of cooking for an even and creamy texture.
If desired, stir in the raisins during the last 2 minutes of cooking to soften them in the pudding.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly. The pudding will thicken further as it cools.
Serve warm or chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon if desired.
