    6 cups water
    1 1/2 cups long grain rice, uncooked
    3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
    1 1/2 cups whole milk

    2 cinnamon stick

Preparation
    Soak rice in water in a large pot, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
    Drain the water into a medium, 2-quart pitcher.
    Blend rice and cinnamon in a blender or food processor, until pasty and rice is well-broken. Transfer rice paste in the water. Let stand 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
    Strain the rice water through a fine sieve or cheesecloth into a large, 3-quart pitcher. Add sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon sticks; stir briefly. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
