Traditionally, horchata is put in a blender and then strained. This refreshing version has a thinner consistency. Ingredients:
1 cup basmati rice |
2 cups blanched almonds |
2 cinnamon sticks |
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped |
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
3/4 cup sugar |
grind the rice into a fine powder (a coffee grinder works perfectly). |
Directions:
1. Combine the ground rice, blanched almonds, cinnamon and vanilla bean and seeds with 3 1/2 cups water and let sit overnight, covered, in the refrigerator.
2. The next day, strain the horchata using a strainer and cheesecloth. Press the solids against the cheesecloth-lined strainer to get out all of the liquid and serve over ice. (You could also blend the horchata, strain and serve over ice.)
