- 2 cups uncooked long grain white rice
- 10 cups water
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- In a bowl, combine the rice and water; cover and chill until grains break easily when squeezed, about 24 hours, or up to 2 days.
- In a blender, whirl about 2 cups of the rice mixture with sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until sugar is dissolved and mixture is smooth; pour into a large bowl or pitcher (at least 3 1/2 qt.). Whirl remaining rice mixture without seasonings, in batches if necessary; add to bowl and stir until well blended with flavored batch. Taste, and add more sugar if desired.
- Just before serving, stir mixture (ground rice will have settled to bottom). Fill glasses with ice cubes, then horchata.
