Preparation

Step 1

Pour the rice, 2 cups water and cinnamon sticks into a blender; blend until the rice just begins to break up, about 1 minute. Add remaining 3 cups water and blend thoroughly. Pour into a container and soak overnight.

Strain the rice water through a sieve into a pitcher and discard the rice. Stir the milk, vanilla, and sugar into the rice water. Chill and stir before serving over ice.
