My horchata recipe makes a creamy refreshing Mexican drink from rice milk, almonds, vanilla and sweet cinnamon. Make some to serve for Cinco de Mayo or taco night!

Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups white rice
- 2 cinnamon sticks (3-inch sticks) (See Note 1)
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds (raw)
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl add the water, rice, cinnamon sticks and almonds to soak for 3 hours minimum or overnight, covered, at room temperature.
- After the rice has soaked, transfer to a blender and remove 1 cinnamon stick (discard). Add the milk, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, salt and ground cloves (optional).
- Purée rice almond mixture until smooth for maximum flavor and a thicker consistency. Then strain and discard solids twice and chill.
- When ready to serve, stir well (See Note 2) and pour over ice in glasses rimmed with cinnamon sugar (optional).
Notes
- Separation of the liquids and rice mixture is completely normal, especially if it’s been sitting in the fridge for a day or two. Just mix it together with a spoon and serve.
- If whole cinnamon is not available, then use 3-4 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.
