Frozen Horchata Rice Drink Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Rice

   Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.

2. 2

   Cook the Rice

   In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 4 cups of water, and the cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Simmer

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the water.

4. 4

   Blend the Mixture

   Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly. Discard the cinnamon stick. Transfer the rice mixture into a blender. Add the vanilla extract, sweetened condensed milk, and milk (or non-dairy milk). Blend until smooth.

5. 5

   Adjust Sweetness

   Taste the mixture and add sugar if desired, blending again to combine.

6. 6

   Prepare for Freezing

   Add ice cubes to the blender and blend until the mixture is icy and well combined.

7. 7

   Serve

   Pour the horchata into glasses, sprinkle with ground cinnamon on top, and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing frozen horchata!
