Method

Preparation of Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the long-grain white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Soak the Rice

    In a large bowl, combine the rinsed rice, cinnamon sticks, and 4 cups of water. Cover and let it soak for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor.

Blending and Straining

  1. 3

    Blend the Mixture

    After soaking, transfer the rice, cinnamon sticks, and soaking water into a blender. Blend on high speed until the rice and cinnamon are finely ground and the mixture appears milky.

  2. 4

    Strain the Liquid

    Using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the blended mixture into a large pitcher or bowl. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible, discarding the solids left behind.

Finalizing the Horchata

  1. 5

    Mix in Flavorings

    To the strained rice milk, add 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk, 2 cups of milk, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and 1 tsp of ground cinnamon. Stir well until all ingredients are combined.

  2. 6

    Serve Over Ice

    Fill glasses with ice, and pour the horchata mixture over the ice. Stir gently and enjoy the refreshing drink!
