How to Make Chicha De Arroz

  1. Rinse 1 cup of white rice thoroughly under cold water. Soak the rice in 2 cups of water overnight (or for at least 6 hours).
  2. Drain the soaking water and transfer the rice to a large pot. Add 7 cups of fresh water and 1 cinnamon stick.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 35 minutes, or until the rice is very soft and has completely broken down.
  4. Remove the cinnamon stick. Carefully transfer the cooked rice mixture to a blender.
  5. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. For extra creaminess, you can strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.
  6. Allow the Chicha de Arroz to cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill thoroughly.
  7. Serve over ice. Garnish with extra cinnamon sticks, a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, or a squeeze of lime, if desired.
