Mexican Rice Milk, Horchata Mexicana image

This rice drink is both refreshing and delicious. It is made with rice, almonds, cinnamon, water, sugar, and vanilla. For more nutrition, in many homes, milk and almonds are added but they are optional. It is very popular in Mexico. Since it is made without milk it will keep in the fridge for days.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 c long grain rice, uncooked
2 qt + 2 cups more water
1 stick cinnamon
1 c sugar or to your liking
1 c fresh milk optional or evaporated milk, optional
1/2 c skinless white almonds blanched, optional
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 medium cheese cloth, important

Steps:

  • 1. First, in a large pot rinse rice two or three times in cool water.
  • 2. Now combine rice and (almonds optional) with about 10 cups of water and a broken-up cinnamon stick. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand overnight, for 24 hours or up to two days. I put mine in the fridge covered and sometimes just leave it in the fridge for two days.
  • 3. After overnight, 24 hours or two days (whichever length of time you chose), remove from the refrigerator and strain the rice and cinnamon sticks from the water. Do not throw the water out.
  • 4. In a blender, process on high about a cup of the rice mixture with a half cup sugar, 1 cup of the rice water, and the soaked cinnamon sticks on high. Process until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture looks very smooth. Pour into a pitcher.
  • 5. Next, do the remaining rice and the rest of the sugar and cinnamon sticks and process again until all is dissolved. (If you chose to soak almonds with your rice then you will have ground the almonds along with the rice as well.) Remember try for a very smooth mixture.
  • 6. Now add all of the rice and almond mixture back into the reserved rice water mix very well. Let stand for about 10 minutes.
  • 7. Now you are ready to strain all of the rice water mixture through a cheesecloth. Put it over another pitcher push down in the pitcher somewhat and I secure the cheesecloth ends over the edge of the pitcher with a very large rubber band all around the outside of the pitcher. I then strain the mixture slowly until all the liquid has been poured back into the pitcher. Remove the cloth discard the contents. Sometimes I strain twice.
  • 8. Now if you like you may add the cup of milk and the vanilla. Stir well and taste for sweetness to your liking. Refrigerate. When nice and cold, serve in tall glasses over ice. Enjoy.
  • 9. In Mexico sometimes after a very hot or spicy meal cool glasses of Horchata are served after the meal to calm and cool the taste buds. Of course, anytime is great to enjoy a refreshing glass of Horchata.
  • 10. I will post my picture tomorrow, as I have rice and soaking in my fridge as I write this. I plan on making the Horchata tomorrow.

HORCHATA (RICE MILK)

This is quite tasty but even more helpful is it is good when you are sick. The rice milk is gentle on the tummy and calms queasiness particularly if you just grate a wee bit of fresh nutmeg over it. Another little note, there is some small rice particles left that you strain out, take these and simmer them in salted water or milk...

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 c raw long grain rice
1 can(s) evaporated milk
3 c ice cold water
1/2-3/4 c sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Place raw rice in quart sized container and cover with water. Let this soak overnight.
  • 2. Drain water from rice.
  • 3. Place rice in blender and add the evaporated milk, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon.

  • 5. Refrigerate and serve over ice.
  • 6. Pronounced Or-chah-tah. Serve with a cinnamon stick.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality rice: The type of rice used in horchata can greatly affect the flavor and texture of the drink. Look for a short-grain or medium-grain rice, such as Jasmine rice, Calrose rice, or Arborio rice. These types of rice have a higher starch content, which will help to create a creamy and flavorful horchata.
  • Soak the rice overnight: Soaking the rice overnight helps to soften it and make it easier to blend. This will also help to remove some of the starch from the rice, which can make the horchata less thick and more refreshing.
  • Use filtered water: Using filtered or purified water will help to ensure that your horchata has a clean and refreshing taste. Tap water can contain impurities that can affect the flavor of the drink.
  • Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar or sweetener you add to horchata is a matter of personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste. You can also use other sweeteners, such as honey or agave syrup.
  • Add spices for extra flavor: Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla can be added to horchata to enhance the flavor. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.

Conclusion:

Horchata is a delicious and refreshing beverage that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy this classic Mexican drink in the comfort of your own home.
