An authentic Mexican beverage at it's simplest - and best!
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
1 cup rinsed white rice
2-3 cinnamon sticks
⅓ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Whirl rice in a food processor to break into small pieces. (This takes some pulsing and a few minutes of whirling).
Pour into a bowl and add 3½ cups water, plus the cinnamon sticks (I used 3 but if you like a mild cinnamon taste, use 2). Cover and let stand overnight in the fridge.
Strain twice, through 3 layers of damp cheesecloth and then through a very fine strainer, into a pitcher. (It's important to thoroughly strain the mixture otherwise the horchata will taste and feel grainy).
Pour over ice and serve.
