VANILLA HORCHATA SMOOTHIE
Instead of the regular rice milk used in horchata, I use 2%. I remember drinking horchata in high school all the time, I loved it. I decided to make it into a smoothie using vanilla ice cream, cinnamon, honey, vanilla extract, mint (just for fun), and milk. Garnish with mint leaves if desired.

Tips:

- Soak the rice overnight. This will help to soften the rice and make it easier to blend.
- Use filtered or spring water. This will help to ensure that your horchata is smooth and creamy.
- Add your sweetener of choice. You can use sugar, honey, or agave nectar. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Add some spices. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla are all popular spices that can be added to horchata. Experiment to find your favorite combination.
- Chill before serving. Horchata is best served chilled. You can either refrigerate it for a few hours or overnight, or you can serve it over ice.
