Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup White rice
- 2.5 cups Hot water
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 4 cups Ice
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (optional, to taste)
Instructions
Add the white rice, hot water, and the cinnamon stick to a blender. Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes until the rice is broken down and the mixture is milky.
Strain the rice mixture through a fine mesh sieve or a cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher, pressing down to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
Rinse the blender and pour the strained liquid back into it. Add whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
Blend everything together on high speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth and well combined.
Taste the horchata and add granulated sugar if more sweetness is desired. Blend again briefly to dissolve the sugar.
Fill glasses with ice and pour the horchata over the top. Serve immediately, garnished with a pinch of ground cinnamon if desired.
