Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup (200g) uncooked white rice
- 6 cups (1.5 L) water
- 10 oz (300g) strawberries
- ⅔ cup (160ml) almond milk (or coconut, soy, oats milk)
- 1 small cinnamon stick
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- stevia (or any sweetener you prefer)
- crushed ice (to serve)
Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cool water. Place it in a large bowl and add the cinnamon stick. Add water until covered for about 2inch (5cm) and let it soak for at least 4 hours or better yet, overnight.
- Add the soaked rice and cinnamon along with the soaking water to a blender. Blend it on high until it is completely smooth (about 3-4 minutes).
- Strain the liquid into a large pitcher and discard the leftover pulp.
- Wash thoroughly the strawberries, add ⅔ to the blender with half a cup of water and blend until smooth. Strain into the pitcher with the rice water discarding any leftovers.
- Add the almond milk, vanilla extract and stevia to taste. 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).
- Place the pitcher in the refrigerator and let it cool for 1-2 hours. Or you can also serve with crushed ice on tall glasses immediately.
