Horchata
Rosa Cienfuegos' recipe for Mexico-City-style horchata made with white rice and cinnamon.
- ΒΌ cup jasmine rice
- 1.5 L just-boiled water
- 3 tbsp condensed milk
- 3 tbsp evaporated milk
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ice cubes to serve
Place the rice in a heatproof bowl or jar and add the boiled water. Stir and set aside to cool to room temperature. The rice will soften slightly.
Transfer the rice and soaking water to a blender and blend until the rice is finely chopped and almost dissolved.
Strain the liquid into a large bowl or jar and discard any remaining bits of rice. Add the milks and cinnamon, stir well and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Add 2 cups (500 ml) water to the horchata and stir it all together. Serve, poured over ice.
