Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 1/3 /3 cups white long-grain rice uncooked
  • 2 cinnamon whole sticks
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 cup milk (coconut milk is good here too)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 /2 cup white sugar

Instructions

  1. Pour the rice, cinnamon sticks, and 2 cups of water into the bowl of a blender; blend until the rice and cinnamon sticks begin to break up. Add the remaining 2 cups of water and let rice mixture stand at room temperature overnight.
  2. Strain the rice water into a pitcher and discard the rice. Stir the milk, vanilla, and sugar into the rice water. Chill and stir before serving over ice. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon on top when serving if desired.

Notes

  • Traditional Horchata is thin and on the watery side but feel free to add more milk to taste for a creamier version. Also, this doesn't make very much so you may want to double it.Source: adapted from Allrecipes. Increased the rice, used cinnamon sticks, increased the milk, reduced the sugar.
