Horchata

I interrupt your regularly scheduled Saturday evening to bring you Horchata.

This wonderful rice drink is super easy to make, sooooooo tasty and refreshing on our super scorching Arizona days. It's a favorite at our house. 

Try it for yourself and let me know what you think. 

Here's the super easy directions. The hardest part is waiting for it to be ready to drink!

Horchata

1 cup uncooked white long-grain rice


5 cups water

1/2 cup milk

1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract


1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon


2/3 cup white sugar


Directions~

Pour the rice and water into the bowl of a blender. Blend just until the rice begins to break up, about 1 minute or so. Let rice and water stand at room temperature for a minimum of 3 hours. With a cheesecloth strain the rice water into a pitcher and discarding the rice. Stir the milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar into the rice water. Chill and stir before serving over ice.
