Go time

Heat up the milk separately.
Melt the coconut oil and butter.
Add the rice and cook for a few minutes — do not brown it.
Add the lemon zest and dry spices, to taste.
Start adding the milk slowly, one ladle at a time, risotto-style.
When the rice is almost cooked, add the sugar and salt.
Take the last ladle of hot milk and pour it slowly over the beaten egg, mixing constantly.
Pour the egg mixture into the pudding, stirring.
When it is back to boiling temperature, add vanilla, stir and take off the heat.
Pour into glasses, sprinkle with cinnamon and cool completely.
