Easy Homemade Horchata Recipe (Authentic Agua de Horchata)

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Drain the rice and place it in a blender with fresh water, cinnamon sticks, and vanilla extract.

Blend until the rice is finely ground, about 1-2 minutes.

Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher.

Add sugar and salt to the strained liquid, stirring until dissolved.

Mix in milk to taste, adjusting sweetness if necessary.

Chill the horchata in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Serve over ice, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
