Rum Horchata

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup uncooked long grain rice
  • 4 cups warm water
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup and 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons rum, or to taste (optional)
  • 8 cubes ice

Preparation

Step 1

Mix the rice and warm water together in a bowl, and let stand for 1/2 hour. Reserving the water, drain, and place the rice in the bowl of a food processor. Add the cinnamon and process until a paste forms. Return the rice to the water and let stand at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally as the water turns milky white.
