Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almonds blanched, 6.5 ounces
- 2 1/2 cups white rice uncooked, 17.5 ounces
- 1 cup ground coffee or 2.75 ounces ground coffee (from 1 cup measured in beans
- 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
- 3 cinnamon stick
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Pinch kosher salt
- 10 cups water filtered
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the almonds, rice, coffee grounds, brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, vanilla extract, kosher salt and water. Mix everything up until combined and cover the bowl. Let sit at room temperature for 5 hours. Or overnight in the fridge.
- Depending on the size of your blender, you may need to do this in batches. Transfer the horchata mix (including the cinnamon sticks) to your blender (adding what will fit, giving room at the top for blending). Blend for about 1 minute, until the horchata coffee turns cloudy and coffee-like.
- After you blend it, allow the mixture to stand for 20 seconds (some of the pulp will fall to the bottom of the blender). Slowly pour through a strainer just until all of the liquid has been emptied out of the blender (leave the pulp in the blender and discard).
- Pour through a mesh strainer into a bowl to catch the majority of the nut and coffee pulp. Re-strain the mixture once more to eliminate any teeny bits of coffee and almonds.
- Transfer to the fridge in a pitcher. And then when you’re ready, serve over ice.
