Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1/3 cup uncooked brown rice
  • 1 cup slivered almonds
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3 cups hot water
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (to taste)
  • cold brew coffee

Instruction

  • Grind rice in a blender until fine. Remove blender jar from the motor.
  • Add the almonds, cinnamon stick and hot water to the ground rice and stir with a spoon. Let the mixture cool completely, then cover and let it sit at room temperature for a minimum of three hours, ideally overnight. I keep everything in the blender jar to make things easier.
  • After soaking, add cold milk and sweetened condensed milk to the rice/almond/cinnamon mixture in the blender then blend until smooth. If you want your horchata sweeter, add more condensed milk, to taste.
  • Strain the milk mixture into a pitcher or jar. Refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
  • Fill a glass with ice fill half-way with cold brew (use more if you want a stronger drink).
  • Shake or stir horchata well before using.
  • Stir in the horchata, garnish with a cinnamon stick and enjoy.
