Steps:
- Place the rice in a bowl with enough water to cover it and let it soak overnight.
- Strain the rice and discard the water. Stir the cold water and evaporated milk together. Place the drained rice into a blender along with half of the diluted milk. Blend until the rice is finely ground, about 30 seconds. Add the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla; blend well. Pour in the remaining diluted milk; blend.
- Line a strainer with two layers of cheesecloth. Place the strainer over another bowl to catch the liquid. Strain the rice milk through the cheesecloth, discard the solids. Repeat the process if necessary. Serve over ice.

RICE ATOLE (MEXICAN RICE PUDDING/ARROZ CON LECHE)
My mom adapted this from several recipes she found, in an attempt to copy the arroz con leche that we had while I was studying in Merida, in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. The bakery sold it in little plastic cups, at room temperature. This isn't a true 'pudding' since it doesn't have any eggs--but it sure is good! I haven't actually made this myself yet--just enjoyed it at mom's house! Warming the milk before adding to the rice helps to avoid longer cooking times. Simply warm the milk in the microwave or in another pan shortly before adding it to the rice. This dish can easily be halved if you don't need such a large amount (or doubled if you need more). This is a nice recipe to pour into individual serving dishes (custard cups or ramekins work well) while still warm. Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon to garnish, cool, and eat cold or at room temperature.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan or pot, combine water, rice and cinnamon sticks and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cover pot and heat for 10 minutes or until water is absorbed.
- Add the warmed milk, cover and continue to cook over low heat for another 15-20 minutes stirring after 8-10 minutes. (The mixture will thicken as the rice absorbs the milk).
- Add the sugar and vanilla and continue to simmer (uncovered) for 3-5 minutes to dissolve sugar completely (It will thicken even more as it cools).
- Place into a large serving dish or individual custard cups. Place cinnamon stick on top and sprinkle with ground cinnamon for garnish if desired. Serve warm or cold, for dessert, snack, or breakfast.

Tips:
- Use short-grain rice. Short-grain rice is the best choice for atole because it breaks down easily and creates a smooth, creamy texture.
- Soak the rice before cooking. Soaking the rice for at least 30 minutes will help it cook more evenly and prevent it from becoming gummy.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot. A heavy-bottomed pot will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the atole from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Cook the atole over low heat. Cooking the atole over low heat will help prevent it from scorching and will allow the flavors to develop fully.
- Stir the atole frequently. Stirring the atole frequently will help prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and will also help to incorporate the spices evenly.
- Serve the atole hot. Atole is best served hot, so make sure to reheat it if it cools down.
Conclusion:
Atole is a delicious and nutritious hot drink that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and comforting atole that will warm you up from the inside out.
