Mexican "Rice Water"??!


Question: Mexican "Rice Water"!?!?
I went to a mexican resteraunt in Chicago with my brother a year or so ago!.!.!.and I had an amazing drink!. It was really wonderful!. I've wanted it ever since but I'm not sure where to get it!.!.!.or even how to make it!.
I was watching television today and saw someone making "Horchata" and was wondering if it was the same!. If so, does anyone have a tried and true good recipe for it!?
Please, this would be very helpful!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Yes!. Horchata is Rice Water!. Its super easy to make and delicious!. Here is my family's recipe for Horchata:

2 C!. Rice
5-6 Cinnamon Sticks (canela)
2 Cans Condensed Milk
Water
1/4 C!. Sugar

In a bowl, add rice, cinnamon sticks and enough water to cover!. Let sit for about an hour or two for the rice & cinnamon to soften and the flavors to mix!. Blend Well!. Pour through a FINE sieve or colander into a pitcher (the colander/sieve has to be fine or else the drink will be gritty)!. Add condensed milk and enough water to fill the pitcher (about 2qts!.) Add sugar to taste (about 1/4 cup)!. Stir Well and serve chilled over ice!. ENJOY!Www@FoodAQ@Com



1 cup white rice, uncooked
2 quarts water
1 cinnamon stick
sugar, to taste

Mix all together ingredients and let stand 3 hours!.
Simmer for 1/2 hour!.
Let cool, then puree in a blender and strain through a cloth or fine-mesh strainer!.
Taste for sweetness and add sugar if necessary!.
Chill and serve over ice!.

Horchata and Agua de Arroz are the same thing!.


I hope this was helpful,Take Care!!! :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Horchata is what you're looking for!. You can usually find mixes available!. It might take some trial and error till you find one you like, but the mixes are a LOT easier than making it from scratch!Www@FoodAQ@Com
