Horchata

Ingredients

6 cups water

2 cups milk

2/3 cup white sugar

2 cups uncooked long-grain rice (eg: jasmine or basmati)

1 tbsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon

1-2 cinnamon sticks (optional)

Recipe

Put the rice, cinnamon sticks (optional) and 2 cups of water in a blender, then let it sit out for a couple hours, and then refrigerate up to overnight.

Strain the mixture. Add sugar, milk, rest of the water, vanilla extract and ground cinnamon.

(Optional) Refrigerate for upto one more day, to get a creamier consistency. You can serve immediately too though, at the cost of a slightly waterier drink.

Notes

Recipe (heavily modified) from: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/141828/lolas-horchata/

For a mildly alcoholic drink (<5% ABV), I’d recommend mixing in a few shots of baileys, and one shot of white rum.
