In a large pot put water and rice to boil stirring for about 8-10 minutes until water evaporates and rice has softened.
Add milk, cinnamon sticks and bring to boil; then add sugar and salt.
Lower heat and begin to simmer. Stir frequently so as not to clump. This took over and hour.
Taste the consistency, if you want it softer cook a bit longer. It all depends on your rice. Let cool.
Take half of the rice and place it in a bowl for children and non-drinkers.
Meanwhile, place your raisins in rum to macerate. Once your raisins have plumped, add to the rice and mix. Let cool.
You may also add raisins with out the rum to the plain rice.
Plate and serve, sprinkling cinnamon powder over the rice pudding.
