Answers:
Ingredients
2 cups long-grain white rice
1 cup sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Preparation
1. In a bowl, combine rice and 10 cups water; cover and chill until grains break easily when squeezed, about 24 hours, or up to 2 days.
2. 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.
3. Just before serving, stir mixture (ground rice will have settled to bottom). Fill glasses with ice cubes, then horchata.
Yield
Makes 3 quarts; 10 to 12 servings
Just some info on Horchata
Horchata is found in Central American and Mexican cuisine but is especially common in Salvadorean cuisine [citations needed], horchata is a rice-based, or morro-based beverage, though a few formulations contain both. While the drink is usually tan and "milky", some recipes call for milk, and others do not. Other ingredients often include sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Though horchata was once typically homemade, it is now available in both ready-to-drink (shelf-stable or refrigerated) and powdered form in grocery stores.
In the US, rice-based or morro horchata is served in many Salvadorean restaurants, and the horchata de chufas is virtually unknown. Rice-based horchata is also sometimes available in US grocery and convenience stores, especially those in Latino neighborhoods. Today it can also be found in some Mexican restaurants
The horchata found in El Salvador is often made of a mixture of herbs, not rice. In El Salvador, horchata is typically flavored with Morro (Calabash tree) seed, ground cocoa and cinnamon as well as sesame seeds, and in some cases is strained; this style is served in Salvadorean restaurants.
As an alcoholic mixer
Some Latin-American bars in Southern California use horchata as a mixer in a Rice Rocket. The drink comprises of 2 parts horchata, 1 part coconut-flavored rum and a dash of Goldschl?ger over ice
Is it much different than the mexican one. I know how to make that one from scratch.
