Ingredients
The following ingredients have 5 Servings
- 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
- 1/2 cup raw unsalted almonds
- 1 small or 1/2 big cinnamon stick
- 4 cups water
- 4 Medjool or 8 Deglet Nour dates (pitted)
- 1/2 vanilla bean (scraped, optional)
Instruction
- Add the rice, almonds, cinnamon stick and water to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Keep this mixture in a sealed container in the fridge overnight.
- The next day, drain the mixture using a nut milk bag, a cheese cloth, a napkin or even a fine-mesh strainer. Discard the pulp or add it to your recipes (smoothies, soups, truffles, etc.).
- Add the liquid to the blender with the dates and the vanilla seeds and blend until smooth. Taste the horchata and add more dates if needed.
- You can serve it immediately with some ice cubes or leave it in the fridge until it's cold. Keep leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 3 to 5 days.
