Ingredients
- 12 cups water, divided ($0.00)
- 1 cup cooked white rice ($0.00)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon ($0.04)
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract ($0.06)
- ½ cup granulated sugar ($0.18)
- 1 cup milk, optional
Instructions
- Blend. Add the 2 cups of water, cooked rice, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend on high for 2 to 3 minutes, until the rice is finely broken down.
- Strain. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing to remove any solids. Discard the solids.
- Sweeten. Stir the granulated sugar into the strained liquid until fully dissolved.
- Dilute. Add the remaining 10 cups of water and stir to combine.
- Finish. Stir in the milk if using. Serve over ice.
Notes
- Rice. Fresh or leftover cooked white rice both work well.
- Milk Option. Adding milk creates a cloudier, creamier horchata.
- Customization. Adjust sweetness or cinnamon to taste.
- Storage. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Stir before serving.
