The Mayans and Aztecs called this the drink of the gods. Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked long grain rice |
2 quarts warm water |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 1/4 cups milk |
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 cup rum, or to taste (optional) |
16 cubes ice |
Directions:
1. Mix the rice and warm water together in a bowl, and let stand for 1/2 hour. Reserving the water, drain, and place the rice in the bowl of a food processor. Add the cinnamon and process until a paste forms. Return the rice to the water and let stand at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally as the water turns milky white.
2. Strain the rice through a fine sieve into a bowl or pitcher. Stir in the milk, condensed milk, vanilla, and rum, if desired, until evenly blended. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
3. To serve, divide the ice cubes between four glasses, and pour the chilled horchata over the ice.
