Ingredients

1 cup long grain white rice
2 cups skinless almonds
1-inch piece cinnamon bark
8 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Ice cubes

Directions

Wash and drain the rice. Using a spice grinder (an electric coffee grinder works well too), grind the rice until fine; combine with the almonds and cinnamon bark. Add 3 1/2 cups water and let sit overnight, covered. Blend rice mixture until smooth using a blender. Add 2 1/2 cups of water and continue blending. Add sugar and vanilla extract. Strain horchata into a bowl first using a metal strainer and then a double layer of cheesecloth; finish with up to an additional 2 cups of water until it achieves a milky consistency. Enjoy over ice.

Came out gritty
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I tried a recipe almost identical to this and it came out gritty. The more rough grittiness got caught in the cheese cloth... and clogged it while the fine stuff went through that and a metal coffee filter and made the drink not so good. Not sure if i ground the rice too much or not enough, I need to find either another recipe or a solution.Read more
