Add rice, milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt to a medium pan over high heat. Stir occasionally while waiting for it to boil.
Once the mixture begins to boil, lower the heat and put a cover the pot tilted.
Let cook for 30-35 minutes, stirring the mixture every 3-4 minutes to avoid burning the bottom. Mixture will be thick and creamy.
Remove from heat. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, covered.
Can be served warm or cold. Sprinkle with optional cinnamon if desired and any desired toppings like fresh fruit. Store leftovers in an air tight container in the fridge.
