Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup Uncooked Long-grain White Rice
- 3 cups Water
- 2 cups Unsweetened Fresh Almond Milk avoid UHT plant-based milk that are more watery
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ⅓ - ⅔ cup Unrefined Cane Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
Instructions
- In a blender, add uncooked rice and water. Blend on the high-speed setting until it breaks up roughly and the water is white and cloudy. Set aside in the fridge overnight in a sealed container.
- The next day, stir the rice mixture, pour the rice mixture into a fine-mesh strainer over a mixing bowl. Discard the rice in the mesh.
- In the mixing bowl, stir in almond milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar. You can blend again for a few seconds to combine the sugar into the milk. Adjust the sugar to taste. I used 1/3 cup for a low-sugar drink. Add up to 2/3 cup of sugar.
- Transfer to a pitcher and store in the fridge until time to serve.
- Give a good stir in the pitcher before serving and serve over ice cubes with a stick of cinnamon.
Storage
- Store up to 5 days in a sealed jug in the fridge.
