Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 ½ cup uncooked Carolina Enriched Long Grain Rice
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 can (14 ounces) evaporated milk
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • ½ cup heavy cream (optional)
  • Ice (for serving)
  • Ground cinnamon (for garnishing (optional))

Instruction

  • Place the rice on a fine-mesh sieve and rinse until the water runs clear. Transfer the rice to a large bowl and add the cinnamon with 1 quart (4 cups) of cold water. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
  • Transfer the soaked rice with the cinnamon sticks and water into the jar of a high-speed blender. Blend until as smooth as possible.
  • Place a cheesecloth (or a fine-mesh sieve) over a pitcher and strain the liquid so all the solid bits stay behind.
  • Stir in the evaporated milk, sweet condensed milk, salt, vanilla extract and heavy cream (if using)
  • You can serve immediately, over ice, or chill for a couple of hours until ready to serve. If desired, garnish with ground cinnamon or cinnamon sticks.
