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

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the white rice under cold running water to remove excess starch.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Taste the mixture and, if desired, add granulated sugar for additional sweetness. Blend briefly to mix the sugar in.

Step 5

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher to remove the rice solids.

Step 6

Add ice cubes to the pitcher and stir to chill the horchata.

Step 7

Serve immediately over additional ice cubes in individual glasses. Enjoy!
