How to Make Mexican Horchata
- Rinse 1 cup of white rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Place the rinsed rice in a bowl and cover with enough hot water to submerge it completely. Let it soak overnight (or at least 4 hours).
- Drain the soaking water thoroughly.
- In a high-speed blender, combine 1/2 cup of the soaked rice, 2 cups of milk, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the remaining rice and milk.
- Pour the blended horchata through a cheesecloth-lined sieve or fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher to remove any remaining rice particles.
- Stir well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled over ice. Garnish with cinnamon sticks or a sprinkle of cinnamon powder, if desired.
