Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the 1.5 cups cooked rice, 2 cups milk, and 0.25 cup sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Reduce heat to low and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the pudding is creamy and the rice is very tender, about 5 more minutes. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon.
Step 3
Remove from heat and let stand for 2 minutes to thicken further. The pudding should be thick but still pourable.
Step 4
Spoon the warm pudding into bowls. Top each with 0.5 cup red currants and sprinkle with 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon. Serve warm.
