Ingredients
- 1 cup DRY long-grain rice
- ½ cup sliced almonds or chopped
- 1 whole cinnamon stick
- 6-8 cups water
- 14 ounce sweetened condensed milk
- 12 ounce evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Bring 4 cups of water to a boil (in a kettle or a sauce pan).
- In a large heat-safe bowl add the dry rice, almonds, cinnamon stick, and salt. Pour the boiling water over the rice mixture. Stir well. Then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. (Could be overnight.)
- Pour the rice mixture into the blender, including the cinnamon stick. Puree until very smooth.
- Set a fine mesh strainer (sieve) over a 10-cup measuring pitcher. Pour the rice mixture into the strainer. Allow the liquid to pour through, removing any remaining debris.
- Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Add additional cold water, until you have 9-10 cups for horchata total. (9 cups for extra-thick horchata. My kids like it a little thinner.)
- Chill until ready to use. Stir before serving. Serve over ice as-is, or with a shot of rum.
Notes
- To Make Agua de Avena, substitute 1 cup steel-cut oats for the rice.
- Dairy Free Horchata? Substitute 3 cups almond or rice milk + 1 cup of sugar for the canned milks in this recipe.
