Mexican Horchata

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You're making a creamy rice milk drink that takes about 8 hours total (mostly soaking overnight). Start by grinding rice with cinnamon, let it soak overnight, then blend, strain, and sweeten with vanilla and condensed milk in the morning—the trickiest part is getting two rounds of blending and straining out of the rice to maximize flavor.

  1. 1/7

    Grind the rice

About this recipe

A drink as white as milk. Well, it actually is milk – rice milk, flavoured with cinnamon and vanilla. In Mexico you can buy it on every corner, quite literally – locals make it at home and sell it in plastic half-litre bottles. So let's make our own!
