Making authentic Horchata Agua Fresca at home is easier than you might think. This cooling rice drink is a traditional Mexican beverage made with only 5 ingredients that comes out sweet, velvety smooth, and with the perfect touch of cinnamon.

Horchata Agua Fresca

rice

water

Ceylon cinnamon stick

cane sugar (plus more to taste)

(plus

oz evaporated milk (optional, see recipe) (or 1 1/2 cups of whole milk)

tsp cinnamon

Place the uncooked rice in a medium bowl.

Completely cover the rice with hot water, about 2 1/2 cups.

Cover the bowl and leave the rice to soak in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours but preferably overnight. Soaking will soften the rice, making it easier to blend.

Pour the soaked rice, cinnamon stick, and water into a blender.

Add 4 cups of cold water and 1 cup of ice and blend for 2-3 minutes until smooth.

Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth or a nut milk bag into a pitcher.

Squeeze or press the cheesecloth or nut milk bag to get as much liquid from the solids as possible.

Dispose of the rice solids.

Stir in ½ a cup of sugar until fully dissolved.

Taste and add more sugar to your desired level of sweetness.

If using milk, stir it in at this time. You may also have to add more sugar, but taste the drink again before adding.

Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour until cold.

Stir and serve cold over ice. Garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon if desired.

So creamy and love that I can make it at home. Thank you!

I love the creaminess and such a great balance of rice and cinnamon flavor.

This is my favorite agua fresca. I always get it at restaurants. I tried out your recipe last week and I am thrilled I can now have it at home. Thank you!
