Horchata

Makes 4 cups A whole lotta Horchata!~
This is a great tasting drink! It’s basically Mexican sweet rice milk. Usually, it is made with white rice, sugar, and vanilla, but I did not have vanilla and I don’t eat white rice or sugar, so I used brown rice and raisins, and it tasted just the same! It’s heaven in a cup, so drink up!
Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked brown rice
1½ cup raisins
1 teaspoon cinnamon
4 cup water
Preparation:
Grind up rice in food processor for 2 min. or till gritty. Pour in water and continue to mix. Add cinnamon and raisins to mixture and blend for 2-3 min. Cover and leave in fridge overnight or if you want the rice to get softer, leave in 2-3 nights. Transfer into food processor and blend till mixture is creamy (there will still be chunkiness from the rice). Place strainer over bowl and pour mixture into it. Help liquid thru by mixing it with a spoon as it sits in strainer. Chill. Serve with ice.

Just threw this all together, and it's resting in the fridge! Can't wait till tomorrow to try it!
Made it. Only suggestion would be to rinse the raw brown rice first! I was so excited to make this, I forgot to do it, and find the end result has a sorta strangeness to it.

This sounds delicious. I'm going to try mine with soaked brown rice. Thanks for the recipe.

You can make horchata with almonds too, or part almond, part rice. If you use just almond, you can use the pulp left after you've strained it in cookies, pie bases, etc.

This sounds great. I drink a rice protein drink and this is a good option. The difference is that I'll make it myself and I'll add some superfoods, like maca, camu-camu or lucuma.

i didn't think that brown rice was raw? I love cinnamon and raisin together though!
