Authentic Mexican Homemade Horchata

Today I'm going to show you, how to make a refreshing Mexican rice drink with cinnamon. Horchata is one of my favorite drinks.

Ingredients:

1 Cup of long grain white rice

2 Cups of hot water

1 12 oz. can of evaporated milk

1 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk

1/2 of cup of whole milk

1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Some ice

Other Supplies:

A blender

A large container

A fine mesh strainer

A jar

A spoon

Start by soaking one cup of long grain white rice into 2 cups of hot water, also add a whole cinnamon stick. Let the cinnamon and rice soak for at least 2 hours.

After 2 hours, pour the rice and the cinnamon stick into the blender and puree. We need to break down the rice as much as possible, so that the water is infused with all the rice flavor.

Now strain the mixture, in a separate container add one 12 oz can of evaporated milk, one 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 of cup of whole milk and 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Stir to combine and make sure the condensed milk dissolves completely. After this add the rice mixture and 4 more cups of water.

If you like it sweeter, you can add sugar until you are happy with it.

Finally to serve I like to add the ice to the glass, then pour the creamy horchata and enjoy. This is the perfect drink to refresh ourselves.
