How To Make horchata

  • Step 1
    Combine the rice milk, rice, honey, and cinnamon in a blender or a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until the mixture is smooth (like a milk shake), about 10 seconds.
  • Step 2
    Pour the liquid through a fine sieve, reserving the sweetened liquid. Serve over ice.

  • Step 4
    Helpful Hints: Rice milk is a good beverage to serve with spicy dishes - it cools off the palate. For 2 cups of cooked rice, combine about 3/4 cup uncooked rice with 1 1/2 cups water and cook, covered, until tender.
