How to: Homemade Horchata (Rice Water)

What you will need: 

2 Cups of Rice

4 Cups of Water

2 Cinnamon Sticks

2 Cups of Milk/ 1 can of Evaporated Milk

Vanilla Flavor (a few drops)

Sugar

Ice Cubes

First, you let the rice sit in water for 2 hours. Then you drain the water, Blend water, Milk, Cinnamon Sticks and sugar (if you like). 

       

I usually let it sit for about 10 min on the blender to avoid getting excess rice and cinnamon on the pitcher.  You should be able to see the milk on top and the rice on the bottom. You can also use a strainer to avoid getting rice inside your pitcher.

After this, you pour onto a pitcher, add sugar to your taste and lastly add the ice. You can refrigerate for an hour before serving or simply add the ice. Enjoy!

PS. Please dont eat the rice or cinnamon. Leftover from blender must be thrown away :)
