Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice I used short grain brown rice, rinsed
- 4 cups water
- 2 cinnamon stick
- 1 cup milk I used skim milk, of your choice
- 1/3 cup raw sugar (agave, or sweetener of your choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract dark
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon ( plus more to topping)
Instructions
- Soak the rice overnight or at least 8 hours in water with cinnamon sticks.
- The next day discard cinnamon sticks and blend the rice and water in your blender at the highest speed for about 5 minutes.
- Pass through a fine mesh sieve about two times to catch all the gritty bits. (A stocking works great) Discard the remaining rice pulp.
- Pour into a pitcher, add skim milk, sugar, ground cinnamon and vanilla and mix well by stirring. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- To serve fill a glass with ice, pour horchata into a glass and sprinkle a little cinnamon on each serving just before drinking.
