Fresh, full of flavour and easy to make this Strawberry horchata agua fresca will become your favourite in the summer season!You can use any kind of milk you want, for example coconut milk add a very delicious and tropical hint. Or oat milk for a creamy consistence.
Rinse the rice under cool water , but don't worry about keeping at it until the water runs clear.
Put the rice and the cinnamon stick in a big bowl, add water until well covered and let it soak for at least 4 hours or better yet, overnight.
Add the soaked rice & cinnamon along with the 2 cups of the water from the bowl to a blender. Blend it on high until it is completely smooth (around 3-4 minutes).
Strain this liquid into a large pitcher and discard the leftover pulp of rice and cinnamon.
Wash thoroughly the strawberries, add 2/3 to the blender with half a cup of water and blend until smooth. Strain into the pitcher with the rice water discarding the leftovers.
Add the almond milk, vanilla extract and sugar/stevia to the pitcher and stir well until combined.
Chop the rest of the strawberries and add to the horchata, adjusting also the other ingredients to your liking (sugar, extracts).
Put the pitcher in the refrigerator and let it cool for 1-2 hours. Or you can also prepare some glasses with crushed ice and serve the horchata immediately.
