Best Horchata Recipe
Horchata is a creamy beverage made from rice and spiced with cinnamon and vanilla. Sounds weird, but I swear it’s delicious, especially when paired with spicy Mexican food!
Ingredients
Instructions
Place 2 cups of rice in a mesh strainer and run it under cold water for about 30 seconds, or until the water runs clear. Add it to a 9-cup capacity blender. (Blend in batches if you have a little blender.)
Add 6 cups water, 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste, and 2 cinnamon sticks
Blend for about 1 minute, or until the rice and cinnamon sticks have broken up
Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours. A full 8 hours is best
Pour the liquid through a fine mesh strainer into a large pitcher. Discard the rice
Add the can of sweetened condensed milk, water, milk, cream, and sugar. Stir well and taste it. Add more ground cinnamon and vanilla bean paste if you want. Adjust the sugar to taste
Pour into glasses filled with ice and serve really cold! Enjoy! Horchata is perfect with any kind of Mexican food
