Horchata
Horchata is a sweet and creamy rice drink. If you've never had it before I can understand how that might not sound very appetizing, but take my word for it. This stuff will change your life.

Ingredients
- 1 cup long grain white rice rinsed until water is clear, uncooked
- 4 cups water
- 1 cinnamon stick or 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla
- 1/3 cup white sugar Up to 2/3 cups to sweeten more
Instructions
- Pour the rice into a mesh strainer and run it under your faucet for a good 30 seconds, or until the water runs clear. Add the rinsed rice to your blender.
- Add 4 cups of water and cinnamon stick to the blender. Blend until rice is slightly broken up, about 1 minute.
- Refrigerate overnight. Technically you can do 3 hours, but 7 or 8 hours gives it more flavor.
- Pour liquid through a mesh strainer into a pitcher. Discard rice. Add vanilla, milk, and sugar to taste. Serve over ice sprinkled with cinnamon.
