FAST EASY HORCHATA

Fast Easy Horchata image

I got this recipe from a friend from work, and she got it from a Mexican restaurant. This is in other words "rice water" it tastes like a rice pudding drink.The original recipe requires you to use actual rice, but this is a fast, refreshing version. The rice flour can be found at your local grocery store in the hispanic isle. Tip: I like to use the pitcher to mix everything well with a spoon and the put the finished drink in an empty milk gallon container and give it all a good shake.

FAST AND EASY HORCHATA

What the heck is Horchata, Torrey??? It's a traditional chilled Mexican drink, made from rice (or almonds) and poured over ice. It tastes like...um...imagine if rice pudding were a dink. That's what it tastes like. SO delicious. Normally it's an overnight process to make this (soaking rice and all), but I didn't have that...

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 14 oz. cans sweetened condensed milk
approx 1 gal milk *
1 cup rice flour **
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
2 to 3 Tbsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
SUBSTITUTIONS
* may substitute vanilla flavored almond milk or rice milk for regular milk. if you do this...omit the vanilla.
** may use almond flour instead of rice flour (or can combine the two)

Steps:

1. In heavy pan, bring milk, salt and cinnamon just to boil over medium heat.
2. HINT: Save the jug from your milk to store the finished Horchata in....it's convenient, and you'll know what the "expiration" date is.
3. Remove from heat. Whisk in sweetened condensed milk, rice or almond flour and vanilla.
4. Pour back into empty milk jug. Chill in refrigerator (for at least an hour or so before serving). Store in refrigerator. Will keep beyond the original expiration for the milk by a few days.
5. The rice/almond flour will settle to bottom, so before serving...shake up jug to redistribute rice/almond flour (aren't you glad you saved the milk jug??). Pour over ice. Garnish with ground cinnamon or a cinnamon stick.
