Ingredients

• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 4 cups water
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
• 2 cups ice cubes

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice under cold water to remove any excess starch and drain well.

Step 2

In a large bowl or blender, combine the rinsed rice, 4 cups of water, and the cinnamon stick. Let the mixture soak for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 3

After soaking, remove the cinnamon stick and transfer the rice and water mixture to a blender. Blend on high speed until the rice is broken down and the mixture is smooth, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher to remove any solids, pressing gently to extract as much liquid as possible.

Step 5

Stir in the whole milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until fully combined and the sugar is dissolved.

Step 6

Taste the horchata and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Step 7

Refrigerate the horchata for at least 1 hour or serve immediately over a glass filled with ice cubes.

Step 8

Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon before serving.
