Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup white rice
- 4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup milk (any type)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional, to taste)
- 2 cups ice cubes
Instructions
Rinse the white rice under cold running water to remove excess starch.
In a blender, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of water. Blend on high speed for about 2 minutes until the rice is broken down and the mixture turns milky.
Add the remaining 2 cups of water, ground cinnamon, sweetened condensed milk, milk, and vanilla extract to the blender. Blend for another 1 to 2 minutes until well combined.
Taste the mixture and, if desired, add granulated sugar for additional sweetness. Blend briefly to mix the sugar in.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher to remove the rice solids.
Add ice cubes to the pitcher and stir to chill the horchata.
Serve immediately over additional ice cubes in individual glasses. Enjoy!
