Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups white long grain rice uncooked
  • 7 cups water
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Instructions

  • Put rice, 4 cups water, and cinnamon sticks in blender. Blend for about 1 minute to break up the rice and cinnamon sticks.
  • Let mixture soak in the blender or a large pitcher overnight. If that isn't possible, soak for at least 3 to 4 hours.
  • Strain rice mixture through a double layer of cheese cloth into another pitcher or a large liquid measuring cup.
  • Add the remaining water, milk, vanilla, and sugar and stir well. If desired, refrigerate until chilled.
