Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the long-grain white rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.

Soak the Rice
In a large bowl, combine the rinsed rice, water, and cinnamon stick. Cover and let it soak at room temperature for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight for better flavor.
Blending

Blend the Mixture
After soaking, remove the cinnamon stick. Transfer the rice and water mixture to a blender. Blend on high speed until the rice is broken down and the mixture appears milky, about 1-2 minutes.

Strain the Mixture
Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large pitcher. Use a spatula to press down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
