Title: Horchata
Categories: Five, Grains, Nuts, Beverages
Yield: 8 Servings
2 c Uncooked long-grain white
- rice
1 c Whole raw, unsalted almonds
- (optional)
1 c Granulated sugar
1 tb Ground cinnamon; more to
- taste
Put the rice, almonds (if using) and 8 cups water into a large
pitcher or bowl. Cover container and let soak overnight (at least
8 hours) at room temperature.
Remove 4 cups liquid from the rice and almonds; reserve. Transfer
the remaining liquid, rice and almonds to a blender, and blend, in
batches if necessary, until solids are finely ground, 2 to 3 minutes.
Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl and pour the ground
rice and almond mixture into the strainer. Use a spoon to press the
solids to extract as much liquid as possible. (You could also
strain the liquid through a cheesecloth if you want your horchata
to be extra smooth.) Discard the solids. Transfer the strained
liquid to a large pitcher (or keep it in the bowl) and mix in the
reserved 4 cups liquid from Step 2.
Add sugar and cinnamon, and stir well. Serve over ice and dust with
ground cinnamon, if desired.
Tip:
The horchata is best consumed the day it's made, but it will keep
up to 2 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Stir
vigorously before serving.
