Ingredients
- 1 quart non-fat milk
- 2 quarts water
- 4 cinnamon sticks
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup rice flour or 1/3 cup raw white rice crushed to a powder in the blender
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Directions
In a wide skillet pour milk. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until reduce by half, 20 - 30 minutes. Strain into a large saucepan and add the water and cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit 15 minutes. Remove the cinnamon sticks and reserve. Combine the sugar, rice flour, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Pour in the milk mixture and whisk to incorporate well. Refrigerate at least 4 hours. Then pour the mixture into a pitcher, discarding the sediment that has settled on the bottom of the bowl. Serve cold over ice, with cinnamon sticks as stirrers.

This was the worst Horchata recipe i have ever tried. Compared to other recipes it was far more time consuming and labor intensive. After slaving over a hot stove for thirty minutes and waiting four hours for it to chill i was completely dissapointed with the taste.

As I was cooking the non fat milk I started regretting not using 2%, thinking it would have made it taste better...thankfully I stuck to my guns and continued with the non fat. The only change I made was that I used 1/2 cup of rice flour instead of the recommended 1/4, and it came out perfect! My kids are very picky about their drinks, last time I tried making horchata using a random recipe I got from another site, it was disastrous and the kids didn't drink it...happy to report that such is not the case with this recipe and I can already see I will have to make a second batch....soon! Very refreshing, perfect summer drink!
