1
Rinse and Soak Rice
In a large bowl, rinse the long-grain white rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch. Once rinsed, soak the rice in 2 cups of water for 3-4 hours or overnight for the best flavor.
2
Blend Rice and Cinnamon
After soaking, drain the rice and add it to a blender along with the cinnamon sticks and the remaining 2 cups of water. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3
Strain the Mixture
Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the blended mixture into a large pitcher or bowl. Squeeze the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
4
Sweeten and Flavor
Add the sugar and vanilla extract to the strained liquid. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved. If desired, you can also add milk to enhance creaminess.

5
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the horchata for at least 1 hour to chill. Serve over ice cubes in tall glasses. Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
