Ingredients
1 cup milk
1/2 cup blanched almonds
1/2 cup white rice
2 cinnamon sticks, plus ground cinnamon or grated cinnamon stick for serving
3/4 cup sugar
Ice, for serving
Directions
- Bring 2 cups water, the milk, almonds, rice and cinnamon sticks to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the rice is tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the cinnamon sticks and cool completely.
- Working in batches, if necessary, carefully transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Pour into a pitcher. Stir in the sugar and add enough water to make a total of 8 cups. Chill. Serve in tall glasses over ice. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
