Preparation Steps

• Soak the rice and cinnamon sticks overnight or for at least 8 hours in water.
• Discard cinnamon sticks and blend rice with soaking water at high speed for 5 minutes.
• Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove solid bits. Discard the rice pulp.
• Pour the liquid into a pitcher, add milk, sugar, vanilla, and ground cinnamon. Stir well and refrigerate until chilled.
• Serve in glasses over ice, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
