Horchata Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup uncooked long grain white rice, rinsed until water is clear
• 4 cups water
• 1 cinnamon stick (or 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon)
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 tablespoon vanilla
• 1/3 cup to 2/3 cup white sugar

Instructions:

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.
