Time 10h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

⅔ cup uncooked long-grain white rice
3 cups warm water
2 cinnamon sticks
2 cups milk
½ cup white sugar, or more to taste
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
ice
1 pinch ground cinnamon, or to taste

Steps:

  • Grind rice into very fine, cornmeal-sized pieces using a blender or coffee grinder.
  • Transfer ground rice to a medium bowl, pour warm water on top, and drop in cinnamon sticks. Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Remove the cinnamon sticks. Place mixture back in the blender and puree until as smooth as possible.
  • Line a sieve with a couple layers of cheesecloth and strain the mixture. Squeeze cloths to extract as much flavor as possible.

This horchata is not bad, but it's not great either. I probably won't make it again.

I'm not sure why this recipe is called authentic horchata. It doesn't taste anything like the horchata I've had in Mexico.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my horchata turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much water.
