Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

  2. 2

    Simmer the Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice, cinnamon sticks, split vanilla bean, cloves, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mixture

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the rice is soft.

  4. 4

    Strain the Liquid

    Remove the pot from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl, discarding the solids.

  5. 5

    Sweeten the Tea

    Stir in the sugar while the tea is still warm until fully dissolved.

  6. 6

    Add Milk

    Once the sugar is dissolved, add the milk and mix well. Chill the horchata tea in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the horchata tea over ice cubes in glasses. Enjoy!
