Horchata Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak the Rice

    Rinse the long-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Place the rice in a bowl with the cinnamon sticks and cover with 2 cups of water. Let it soak for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Blend the Mixture

    After soaking, drain the rice and cinnamon sticks. In a blender, combine the soaked rice and cinnamon sticks with 2 cups of fresh water. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Strain the Mixture

    Using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the mixture into a large bowl or pitcher, pressing down to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.

  4. 4

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon into the strained liquid. Adjust sweetness to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the horchata over ice and enjoy. Optionally, sprinkle a little extra ground cinnamon on top for garnish.
