HORCHATA

HORCHATA

We liked.  Next time either don't blend as much or double strain.

1 1/3 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
2 cinnamon sticks
4 cups water, divided
1 1/2 cups milk
2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp cinnamon
1/3 - 1/2 cup sugar

To a blender add rice, 2 cups of water and 2 cinnamon sticks. Blend for about 2 minute or until the rice and cinnamon sticks are roughly ground.  Add the remaining water and blend again.  Pour contents into a pitcher or container with a fitted lid and place on your countertop overnight or for at least 8 hours.

Pour the rice mixture into a fine mesh strainer, into a pitcher.  Discard the rice.  Stir in the milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar (to your preference).  Chill until ready to serve.  Stir well before serving and serve over ice.
