Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Soak the Rice

    Rinse the long grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in 2 cups of water for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  2. 2

    Blend the Mixture

    After soaking, drain the rice and place it in a blender with the cinnamon stick, vanilla extract, and 2 additional cups of water. Blend until the mixture is smooth.

  3. 3

    Strain the Mixture

    Strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl to extract the liquid. Discard the solids.

  4. 4

    Sweeten the Horchata

    Stir in the sugar and milk into the strained liquid until fully dissolved.

  5. 5

    Combine with Cold Brew

    In a glass, fill with ice and pour in 1 part horchata to 1 part cold brew concentrate. Stir gently.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the horchata cold brew immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
