This dairy-free and nut-free, Mexican classic is so easy to make and is the perfect complement to a spicy meal!
Ingredients
- 1 cup Long-grained rice
- 2 Cinnamon sticks
- 5 cups Water
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1/2 cup Sugar
Instructions
- Combine 1 cup rice, 2 cinnamon sticks, and 5 cups of water in a blender. Blend until the ingredients are somewhat ground.
- Let this mixture sit and soak for at least 8 hours. The longer you let it soak, the better your horchata will be.
- When you’re ready to drink, blend once more and strain the drink into a pitcher using a sieve to remove the rice and cinnamon pieces.
- Add 1 tsp vanilla and 1/2 cup sugar to the pitcher and stir until the mixture is combined.
- Serve over ice, sprinkle with cinnamon, and enjoy!
