Horchata - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups white rice
6 cups water
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Soak the rice overnight in 3 cups of the water.
Place the rice, soaking water and cinnamon to a blender and puree for 3 minutes, or until very smooth. Strain through a fine meshed sieve or several layers of cheesecloth to ensure that there is no grit or large particles in the liquid.
Stir in the remaining 3 cups of water, sugar and vanilla. Adjust sugar to taste and serve well chilled. Horchata can separate as it sits, so stir well before each serving.
