Horchata

maybe next time, have the mixture sit overnight.  Also, blend a cinnamon stick in with the rice.  You can also add 1/4 C sweetened condensed milk.  Definitely too sweet and watery for some.  Sounds like it’s not authentic either.

• 1 cup uncooked white long-grain rice
• 5 cups water
•  ½ cup milk
•  ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
• ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
•  ⅔ cup white sugar
• Step 1

  Pour the rice and water into the bowl of a blender; blend until the rice just begins to break up, about 1 minute. Let rice and water stand at room temperature for a minimum of 3 hours.

•   Step 2

  Strain the rice water into a pitcher and discard the rice. Stir the milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar into the rice water. Chill and stir before serving over ice.
