Horchata
- 1 cup Long Grain White Rice, Rinsed
- 2 whole Cinnamon Sticks
- 4 cups Water
- 1/4 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon, Plus More For Garnish
- 1 cup Milk
- 1/3 cups Brown Sugar, Plus 2-3 Tbsp. To Taste
- 1-1/4 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- Wash and drain rice. Combine rice with cinnamon sticks and water and soak overnight in the refrigerator.
- After the rice has soaked for at least 8-10 hours, preferably overnight, discard the cinnamon sticks and pour rice and water into a blender. Add the ground cinnamon and blend on low for 3-5 minutes until well blended. Pour blended rice mixture through a fine mesh sieve two times and then through cheesecloth one more time to remove all the gritty bits of rice.
- Pour strained mixture into a pitcher, add milk, brown sugar and vanilla and stir well to combine. Add more sugar if needed, to taste.
- To serve, pour over ice and garnish with ground cinnamon, if desired.
- Enjoy!
