How to Make Agua De Palapa Joe's

  1. Rinse 1/2 cup of white rice thoroughly under cold water.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 1 cup water, and 1 cinnamon stick. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 15 minutes, or until the rice is very soft and the water is absorbed.
  3. Let the cooked rice cool slightly.
  4. Transfer the cooked rice mixture to a blender. Add 1/2 cup water to help with blending.
  5. Blend until completely smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. In a large pitcher, combine the blended rice mixture, 5 cups of cold water, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 cup sugar (or to taste), and 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk.
  7. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  9. Serve chilled over ice. Garnish with a cinnamon stick or a lime wedge (optional).
