Horchata is a Mexican drink that's very refreshing on a hot day. I got this recipe a couple of years ago from a Mexican coworker, and it is the best horchata I've had!

Ingredients

  • 2 quartss hot water
  • 0.5 cups white sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup long grain rice
  • 1 cup milk
  • ice cubes , for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pour sugar, cinnamon, and rice into hot water; stir until sugar dissolves. Cover, and let stand at room temperature for at least 3 hours, but preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Stir in milk, then puree with a hand blender, or in batches in a standing blender until the rice resembles fine sand. Strain through several layers of cheesecloth, or through a very fine strainer. Serve over ice.
