Leftover Rice Rice Pudding (take three)

I wanted to make a nice warm breakfast for this morning when we had our first snow of the year.  I went through a couple of different recipes I had tried and put them together and came up with the  following.

4 cups of rice (I used leftover brown rice)
2 cups of milk (soy milk, almond milk, or other milks would work here as well)
1/2 cup sugar (feel free to use a sweetener instead)
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon,
2 eggs

I cooked it on the stove until it got thick and lovely and then put it in the fridge to cool just a little for the girls to enjoy. I put a little syrup on it for them before serving and it was a really yummy!
