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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Rinse the blender and pour the strained liquid back into it. Add whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
Step 4
Blend everything together on high speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Taste the horchata and add granulated sugar if more sweetness is desired. Blend again briefly to dissolve the sugar.
Step 6
Fill glasses with ice and pour the horchata over the top. Serve immediately, garnished with a pinch of ground cinnamon if desired.
