I have enjoyed Horchata on several occasions in Mexican restaurants, and began the search for homemade. Here is a simple version (I like to add vanilla, but it is optional). Seriously, it is the best ever - and, it costs just pennies to make!

Ingredients:
| 1 cup | long grain rice, rinsed |
| 2 quarts | water |
| 1 | cinnamon stick, broken into pieces |
| 1 teaspoon | vanilla (optional) vanilla extract (optional) |
| 1/2 cup | white sugar |
Directions:
In a large saucepan, combine rice, water and cinnamon stick. Set aside for 3 hours.
After 3 hours, bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Allow to cool.
Puree rice mixture in a blender until smooth. Strain through cheesecloth or a fine sieve. Flavor with vanilla and sugar to taste. Chill, and serve over ice.
