Horchata + Horchata Iced Latte
Horchata + Horchata Iced Latte (Fiesta Fridays)
Author: 
Recipe type: Drink
Cuisine: Mexican, Gluten Free, Raw, Vegan
Serves: 6 cups
 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup white rice (or rice milk)
  • 3/4 cup raw almonds (or almond milk)
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 tablespoons agave syrup
  • 1 tablespoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 cups skim milk (or more rice or almond milk to keep vegan) + 2 cups water
Instructions
  1. Soak rice and almonds in 2 cups of hot water overnight or for at least two hours.
  2. Add rice, almonds and their soaking water to a blender and blend on high for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture is as smooth as possible.
  3. Add the agave, cinnamon and vanilla, and blend again to combine.
  4. Pour the mixture into a strainer set over a pitcher. Strain out as much liquid as possible, using a spoon to push the liquid out of the rice/almond pulp in the strainer. Put the pulp in a container and set aside in the fridge (a recipe using this coming tomorrow!).
  5. Add milk and remaining 2 cups of water and mix to fully incorporate.
  6. Add ice to the pitcher if serving immediately or store in the fridge.
  7. Garnish glasses with extra cinnamon if desired.
  8. Store in the fridge for no more than three days.
Notes
You can skip the soaking step and use storebought rice milk (1 cup) and almond milk (1 cup). Then add water and more milk as stated in the ingredients list.

Calculating the nutrition was a bit difficult since you discard the pulp, but I estimated using nutritional information for store-bought unsweetened almond and rice milks.
