Ingredients
- 1/2 cup long grain brown rice, uncooked
- 3/4 cup boiling water
- 1 cinnamon stick, about 2"
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups milk (we used low fat milk...alternatives: whole milk, soy or almond milk)
- 1/4 cup 100% pure maple syrup
Directions
Add rice and cinnamon stick to a medium bowl, pour hot water over, cover and allow to soak for 2-3 hours. Add rice along with water, cinnamon stick and vanilla to a blender and blend until rice and cinnamon are finely ground. Pour mixture through a fine meshed sieve into a half gallon size pitcher.
Add residue in sieve back into the blender, add milk and maple syrup, blend until combined. Pour milk through the sieve into the pitcher. Discard leftover residue. Refrigerate until ready to drink.
Pour milk over ice and enjoy!
Tip: To make a smoothie, add 1 cup rice milk, 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt, a banana and ice.
I'd love to try this same recipe with Quinoa. If you make it before I get around to it...please let me know how it turned out.

what's the calorie count?
Brooke, It's about 150 calories for 1 cup.
I've always been a fan of Horchata & used to order it a lot when I lived in California. It's nice to see such an easy recipe that can be made at home!
