Ingredients
- 3 cups milk
- 1 (14-ounce) can fat-free condensed sweetened milk
- 1 cup enriched long grain white rice, dry
- 1-ounce packet of Mexican cinnamon sticks
- 5 cups water, divided
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a 2-quart saucepan, stir rice, cinnamon and 2 cups of water. Heat the mixture on high until the water starts to steam. Cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 1 hour to soak the rice and cinnamon.
- In a blender, combine soaked rice and cinnamon mixture with 3 cups of water. Pulse 2-3 times, then blend for about 1 minute until the rice and cinnamon break up into small pieces.
- Place a fine-mesh strainer over a pitcher. Carefully pour the blended rice and cinnamon mixture into the strainer to separate the rice water. Set aside the rice and cinnamon pieces caught in the strainer.
- Return the rice water mixture to the blender. Add milk, condensed sweetened milk and vanilla extract. Pulse 2-3 times, then blend for 1 minute until the condensed milk is mixed well.
- Place the strainer over the pitcher of rice water. Pour the blended milk mixture over the strainer to remove rice and cinnamon pieces. Discard the rice and cinnamon.
- Stir the horchata well. To serve, pour horchata into a glass with ice. Store the remaining horchata in the refrigerator. Stir before serving.
