Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and ensures a creamier pudding.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
Add the rice milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, sweetener, and salt to the cooked rice. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, for about 20 minutes until the mixture thickens to your desired pudding consistency. Be careful not to let it stick to the bottom of the pan.
Stir in the raisins and lemon zest, then cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm or chilled, as desired. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few extra raisins if desired.
