List of Ingredients




2 cups white rice
1 cup (about 4 oz.) blanched almonds
3 Tabl. ground cinnamon
2 qts. warmed milk or hot water
0.75 cup granulated sugar, or to taste
1 tea. vanilla extract
Ice cubes


Recipe



Wash and drain the rice.

In a large bowl, combine the drained rice, almonds, and
cinnamon with the warm milk or water and soak at least 6
hours, or preferably overnight.
Drain, reserving liquid.

Puree half the rice-almond mixture in a food processor or
blender. Add about 1 cup of the reserved liquid and blend
until as smooth as possible.
Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl and repeat with the
remaining rice mixture and liquid.

Strain the mixture through 3 layers of dampened
cheesecloth into a glass pitcher or jar, squeezing the
cloth to extract all the milky liquid. Stir in the sugar
and vanilla. Chill and serve over ice cubes. Makes about
two quarts.
