Horchata [orchata] (rice milk)

1 cup of rice

1 cinnamon stick

1 tsp of vanilla extract

4 cups of water or 1 liter

1 can of condensed milk milk**

Ice cubes

Ingredient Directions

Briefly rinse your rice. In a container add the rice, cinnamon stick, and 1 cup of water Cover it and leave it out for 4 hours or overnight (best overnight).

Mix the rice mixture in a blender.

Blend as finely as you can In a jar or jug, strain the mixture with a fine strainer And pour 3 cups of water through the strainer. So that you can get as much of the remaining rice and cinnamon flavor. Add the vanilla extract, the condensed milk, pour the milk** to the can to get the rest of the sweetness out. Mix well with a spoon.

Serve with ice and ENJOY!

Notes: If you want to make it more sweeter you can add sugar. I’ m lactose intolerant and I have substituted it with almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, and oatmilk. If you want to give it a little something something add Rumchata or spiced rum, or coffee
