Ingredients
- 2 cups long-grain white rice
- 2 ½ cups hot water
- 1 medium Ceylon cinnamon stick or half of a large one
- ⅓ cup pumpkin puree
- 12 oz evaporated milk
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin spice
Instructions
- Place the uncooked rice and cinnamon stick in a medium bowl.
- Completely cover the rice with hot water.
- Cover the bowl and leave the rice to soak for at least 6 hours but preferably overnight. Soaking will soften the rice, making it easier to blend.
- The next morning, pour the soaked rice, cinnamon stick, and water into a blender.
- Add pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, condensed milk, vanilla and pumpkin spice.
- Blend for 3-4 minutes until smooth.
- Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth or a nut milk bag into a pitcher.
- Squeeze or press the cheesecloth or nut milk bag to get as much liquid from the solids as possible.
- Dispose of the rice solids.
- Mix in 2 cups of cold water.
- Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour until cold.
- Stir the drink before serving to ensure that any settled ingredients are incorporated.
- Pour over ice and garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or pumpkin spice if desired.

Notes
- For a dairy-free or vegan option, use almond milk or evaporated coconut milk in place of the evaporated milk. Then, replace the sweetened condensed milk with coconut condensed milk.
- Customize the flavor per your preference by adding more or less cinnamon or pumpkin spice. You can also add up to ½ cup of pumpkin puree for a stronger pumpkin flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness level according to your taste by adding less condensed milk or even more sugar if a sweeter result is desired.
