Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 cups long grain rice
  • 1 cinnamon stick broken into pieces
  • 8 cups water
  • 1 can evaporated milk 12 ounces
  • 1 can condensed milk 14 ounces
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ground cinnamon to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine rice, cinnamon stick, and 4 cups. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.
  2. In a blender, place soaked rice, cinnamon, and soaking water. Blend for about 2 to 3 minutes or until completely ground.
  3. Using a fine mesh sieve, strain the liquid mixture into a large pitcher.
  4. Add the remaining 4 cups water, evaporated milk, condensed milk, and sugar. Stir until well combined and sugar is dissolved.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator. Serve over ice and sprinkle with ground cinnamon, if desired.

Notes

  • Soak the rice for at least 6 hours to soften it for easy blending.
  • If you have a high-powered blender, you can skip the soaking as the blender would be powerful enough to process the rice. Use hot water to help soften the grains.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth. This will remove any remaining rice grains for a smooth consistency.
