1
Soak the Rice
In a bowl, combine the long-grain white rice and 2 cups of water. Add the cinnamon sticks and let it soak for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
2
Blend the Mixture
After soaking, transfer the rice, cinnamon sticks, and soaking water to a blender. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and the rice is finely ground.
3
Strain the Mixture
Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the blended mixture into a large pitcher, pressing down to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
4
Combine Ingredients
To the strained liquid, add the remaining 2 cups of water, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and milk. Stir well to combine.
5
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the horchata for at least 1 hour to chill. Serve over ice and sprinkle with ground cinnamon before enjoying.
