Horchata Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Soak the Rice

    In a bowl, combine the long-grain white rice and 2 cups of water. Let it soak 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 remaining 2 cups of water and the cinnamon stick. Blend until the rice is finely ground.

  3. 3

    Strain the Mixture

    Pour the blended rice mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a pitcher, discarding the solids.

  4. 4

    Add Sweetness

    Stir in the sugar and vanilla extract until fully dissolved. If desired, add the milk for creaminess.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Refrigerate the horchata until chilled. Serve over ice in glasses.
