Horchata - Stew's favorite drink


Served this a party this weekend. It was a big hit. 

1 c. rice
1 quart milk
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
ice cubes

Soak rice in hot tap water overnight. 

The next day, drain rice. Place 1/2 cup rice and 1 cup milk in blender. Blend until rice is finely ground. Add 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp. vanilla and 1/4 tsp. cinnamon. Blend thoroughly. Strain liquid through fine sieve into a pitcher. Repeat with remaining ingredients. 

Let it sit over night to let all the fine grainy rice fall to the bottom. 
To serve, pour into a new pitcher without stirring so all the fine rice powder stays in the old pitcher. pour over ice cubes.
Makes 6 servings.
