Horchata

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked long grain rice
3 cups hot water
1/2 cup white sugar
3-inch stick of ceylon cinnamon, broken into small pieces


Directions

Put all ingredients into a heat-proof bowl and let sit for several hours or overnight, up to 24 hours. Blend everything and strain through a nut milk bag.


Notes

Good chilled over ice, which helps dilute the sweetness. However, there was some grittiness that came through. Even so, looking forward to trying this in a cocktail.
