• 200g long-grain white rice
• 1L water
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 400ml milk
• 100g sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Soak the rice and cinnamon in the water overnight. The soak does all the work — rush it and you get gritty, thin horchata.
2. Blend the whole lot, soaking water included, until the rice has broken down.
3. Strain through a fine sieve or a cloth, pressing hard to get everything through.
4. Stir in the milk, sugar and vanilla. Chill, and shake before pouring — it settles.
