My version of the beloved Horchata recipe includes rice, almonds, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and water. Quick to prepare, it's refreshing and so delicious!
⅔cupgranulated sugar,or your choice of substitute sweetener

Ice,for serving
Instructions
Combine rice, almonds, and cinnamon sticks in a high powered blender; pour in about ¼ cup water and blend until mixture is ground.
Pour in 2 cups water, add the sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to blend until combined, about 30 seconds. Pour the mixture into a large bowl or container; add in the remaining water and milk.
Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.
When ready, using a fine mesh or cheese cloth, strain the mixture into a pitcher. Stir it well, and serve over ice.
