I made horchata

So I grabbed a vegan horchata recipe from http://plantbasedonabudget.com/

Here's the link http://plantbasedonabudget.com/tag/vegan-horchata/

It’s so easy and cheap to make your own Horchata, and it’s so much better than Rice Dream’s version. I put that it takes 24 hours to make because I really love it to be extra milky. I’ve made it after letting the rice sit for four hours and it was still tasty but it wasn’t as thick.

Ingredients

one cup long grain white or brown rice, uncooked
6 cups water
2 cups non-dairy milk
1/2 cup sugar
3 cinnamon sticks (or 2 tbs ground)
1 tsp vanilla extract
pitcher
Method

Step 1

Put the cups of rice into a blender with two cups of water and blend it until the rice is broken up and the water looks very milky.

Step 2

Pour into pitcher with four cups of water, add cinnamon sticks and let sit overnight - or at least four hours (the longer the more milky it will taste).

Step 3

Pour rice milk into another pitcher (or large bowl), using cheese cloth to strain the rice and cinnamon sticks out.

Step 4

Add all other ingredients, mix well, pour over ice and enjoy!

So right now I'm filtering it get the gritty stuff out but it looks awesome and smells great!
