1
Rinse the Rice
Begin by thoroughly rinsing the long-grain white rice under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer to remove excess starch.
2
Soak the Rice
In a large bowl, combine the rinsed rice with 4 cups of water. Let it soak for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight.

3
Blend the Soaked Mixture
After soaking, drain the rice and add it to a blender along with the soaked water, cinnamon sticks, vanilla extract, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth.

4
Strain the Horchata
Using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the blended mixture into a pitcher, pressing down to extract as much liquid as possible.

5
Add Milk
Stir in the 2 cups of milk (or almond milk) to the strained mixture. Mix well to combine.
6
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the horchata for at least 2 hours to chill. Serve over ice, garnished with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
