Horchata



Ingredients
(Makes 6 cups)
1 cup uncooked white long-grain rice
5 cups water
½ cup milk
½ tablespoon vanilla extract
½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
⅓ cup white sugar (this might be a little much)

Directions
Pour the rice and water into the bowl of a blender; blend until the rice just begins to break up, a minute or two. Let rice and water stand at room temperature for a minimum of 3 hours; overnight in the fridge is even better.

Strain the rice water into a pitcher and discard the rice. Stir the milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar into the rice water. Chill and stir before serving over ice.
