HORCHATA

Categories     beverage

Time 8h5m

Yield about 2 quarts, 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 tablespoons rice
1 cup blanched almonds
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 strips lime zest, colored part only
3 cups hot water, plus 4 cups cool water, divided
Sugar, to taste, 1 to 1 1/2 cups
Mexican vanilla extract or vanilla extract, to taste, usually about 1 teaspoon

Steps:

  • Place the rice in a blender or spice grinder and process until thoroughly pulverized. Take your time doing this - this is a critical step and the more finely ground the rice, the better the horchata will be. Transfer to a large bowl or pitcher and add the almonds, cinnamon, and lime zest. Add about 3 cups of hot water, cover, and let stand overnight.
  • The next day, transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until mixture is as smooth as it will get, again taking your time to allow to get as smooth as possible. Add 2 cups additional cool water and blend again until thoroughly combined. Pour mixture through a strainer lined with 3 layers of fine cheesecloth set over a bowl, little by little, pressing on solids and stirring to help mixture pass through the cloth. The more slowly you strain the mixture, the smoother the horchata will be. Transfer to a pitcher and add 2 cups more water, until the mixture is a pleasant, smooth consistency. Add sugar and vanilla extract, to taste. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
  • Serve cold over ice.

HORCHATA SMOOTHIE



Horchata Smoothie image

A Quick and Easy twist on Horchata (Mexican Rice Milk) and Smoothies. It makes a nice creamy drink that is perfect for breakfast or as a sweet treat poured over ice on warm day. (I shortcut this recipe by using my recipe for vanilla yogurt. Also equally yummy adjusted fat free/sugar free)

VANILLA-FRUIT SMOOTHIE



Vanilla-Fruit Smoothie image

Ninety percent of the time, I eat savory breakfasts. But I don't like to impose my will on others (at least not early in the morning), so when there are guests, I tend to make smoothies. I'm a big believer in frozen fruit, especially off season; it's much more flavorful than, say, Chilean peaches.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups soy, rice or almond milk, or silken tofu, or yogurt
1/2 cup apple or orange juice or water, or as needed
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, or a couple of slices of peeled ginger, or a little honey or maple syrup, all optional
1/2 frozen banana, optional
2 cups unsweetened frozen fruit: peaches, cherries, blueberries, pineapple or just about anything else

Steps:

  • Combine everything in a blender. Pulse the machine, then turn it on and purée until smooth. If you're not getting enough action, add juice or water a little at a time until the machine gets a grip. Serve immediately.
