This Agua de Horchata recipe brings a nutty twist. The creaminess of almonds, combined with the warmth of cinnamon and a hint of vanilla, makes a refreshing, not overly sweet drink perfect for warm days.

Instructions
- In a 72 oz blender, add 1 cup of white rice and blend on high speed until finely ground. Add the almonds, cinnamon sticks, and 2 cups of hot water. Cover the blender and allow the mixture to soak on your counter overnight, or for at least 4 hours, to let the rice hydrate and soften.
- Once the mixture is soaked, add sugar, vanilla, evaporated milk, almond milk, and remaining water. Blend again at high speed until smooth and creamy.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large pitcher and line it with cheesecloth, ensuring it covers the surface. Pour the rice mixture through the cheesecloth-lined strainer into the pitcher, discarding any remaining solids.
- Transfer the horchata to a clean pitcher. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if needed. Chill the horchata in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and cool. Before serving, stir the horchata to mix it well. Serve over plenty of ice for a refreshing drink.
- 👀👉 Note: Do not leave horchata at room temperature for more than 30 minutes.
