Horchata Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  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 3 hours or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Blend Ingredients

    After soaking, drain the rice and place it in a blender with the remaining 2 cups of water and the cinnamon sticks. Blend until the mixture is smooth.

  3. 3

    Strain the Mixture

    Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the blended mixture into a large pitcher to separate the liquid from the rice solids.

  4. 4

    Add Flavorings

    To the strained liquid, add sugar, vanilla extract, milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.

  5. 5

    Serve Chilled

    Serve the horchata over ice cubes and enjoy. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
