horchata (vegan or dairy)





So I finally got around to making non powdered horchata...it's apparently pretty easy.

soak 1 cup rice (white or brown) and a cinnamon stick or 1 tsp cinnamon in 3 cups water.
Cover and leave it alone for 8-12 hours.
throw this in a blender and blend until the rice is powdered add 1/2 c sugar (or 1/4c crystallised stevia/splenda), 1 tsp real vanilla or almond and a few grates of nutmeg. add 3 more glasses of water or milk or almond milk or halvsies of both and blend again. It will be creamy and frothy with or without milk. strain through fine sieve or tea towel or old t shirt. squeeze the liquid through. chill. shake before serving as it will seperate. I add more nutmeg and cinnamon at serving time mmm.
  • next I'm going to try starting with rice flour and see how that goes
ummm rice flour...not so good.
