How to Make Rice And Cinnamon Cooler

  1. Break 1 cinnamon stick into small pieces.
  2. In a small skillet, toast the cinnamon pieces over medium-high heat for 6 minutes, or until lightly browned. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  3. In a blender, combine the toasted cinnamon, 1 cup of rice milk, and 3 cups of whole milk. Blend in batches until completely smooth.
  4. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a saucepan, discarding the cinnamon pieces.
  5. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar to the saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably 4 hours, to allow the flavors to meld and the drink to chill thoroughly.
  8. Serve over crushed ice. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and a sprinkle of cinnamon powder, if desired.
