Horchata - Rice Drink image

This is how my Grandma used to make this classic agua fresca for us. It is so refreshing and delicious, bringing back fond memories of childhood. MAKES ABOUT 6 CUPS OF HORCHATA. TIme does not include overnight soaking. This can be dairy free - just don't add the milk.

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 c white rice, long grain
1 small cinnamon stick
5 c water, divided use
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 c milk
1/3 c sugar

Steps:

  • 1. In a saucepan or microwave, heat just TWO (2) cups of water until hot. Put the rice and cinnamon stick in a glass bowl or heat-proof pitcher. Pour the hot water over and stir for a moment. Cover with plastic wrap and soak overnight, or at least 8 hours to soften the rice.
  • 2. Pour the rice and liquid into a blender jar. Blend until very smooth. Strain the mixture into a bowl, using a spoon to help the liquid pass through the strainer.
  • 3. Add the vanilla, milk, and the remaining 3 cups of water. Add the sugar, stirring until dissolved. Taste and adjust to your taste (more sugar, more milk, more vanilla, etc.). Refrigerate and serve cold over ice. I usually dust ground cinnamon over the top. Be sure to stir before serving, as the rice settles to the bottom.

I'm not a big fan of horchata, but I decided to give this recipe a try and I was pleasantly surprised. It's much better than I expected! I love the creamy texture and the subtle sweetness. I will definitely be making this again.
