How to Make Agua de Horchata<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Making agua de horchata is quite easy. It does take a little time and planning but the overall effort and skill is minimal. All you need is a pitcher, spoon and a blender! Here is how we make our tasty drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Soak the uncooked rice and cinnamon stick in the water. The longer you let the rice soak, the creamier your drink will be. Let it soak for at least two hours to help tenderize the rice. If you are in a rush, boil the water before soaking the rice. Hot water will soften the rice faster.<\/li>
  2. Blend the soaked rice, water and cinnamon sticks together. Yes! You leave the cinnamon sticks in! They will break up into very small, ground bits when blended.<\/li>
  3. Strain the mix and then discard any pulp from the rice and cinnamon stick.<\/li>
  4. Mix in the sweetened condensed milk<\/a> and vanilla bean paste.<\/li>
  5. Chill the agua horchata and serve over ice.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
