In a medium saucepan, combine the cooked rice, whole milk, granulated sugar, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly, about 7 to 8 minutes.
Stir in the unsalted butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
If using raisins, fold them into the mixture and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the rice pudding cool for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve warm or chilled, garnished with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
