How to Make Horchata Iced Cinnamon Milk Punch

  1. Combine 1/2 cup uncooked white rice and 2 broken 3-inch cinnamon sticks in a large bowl.
  2. Add 12 cups of water and stir gently.
  3. Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 6-8 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator.
  4. Carefully pour most of the rice water into a separate container, leaving the settled rice behind.
  5. Set aside the rice water. Remove the cinnamon sticks and set them aside as well.
  6. Add 4 cups of milk, 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup of sugar (adjust to taste), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the rice mixture.
  7. Stir well to combine.
  8. Carefully transfer the rice mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend in batches until completely smooth.
  9. Strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining rice particles (optional, but recommended for a smoother texture).
  10. Stir the blended rice mixture into the reserved rice water.
  11. Return the cinnamon stick pieces to the mixture. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill thoroughly.
  12. Before serving, remove the cinnamon sticks.
  13. Shake the mixture vigorously to combine and serve over ice in tall glasses.
  14. Garnish each glass with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
