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 uncooked long grain white rice rinsed until water is clear
  • 4 cups water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Add 4 cups of water and cinnamon stick to the blender. Blend until rice is slightly broken up, about 1 minute.
  3. Refrigerate overnight. Technically you can do 3 hours, but 7 or 8 hours gives it more flavor.
  4. Pour liquid through a mesh strainer into a pitcher. Discard rice. Add vanilla, milk, and sugar to taste. Serve over ice sprinkled with cinnamon.
