Brown Rice Horchata with Cinnamon and Orange

Brown rice delivers a deeper, nuttier flavor than the traditional white rice, and cinnamon and orange add a delicious perfume to this creamy drink. Feel free to swap honey or agave nectar for the sugar. For an even richer texture, finish the horchata with almondmilk instead of water.

In a large bowl or container, combine rice, almonds, cinnamon stick, orange peel and 3 cups very hot water.


Let cool, then cover and refrigerate overnight.

Strain mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing on solids until only moist pulp remains; discard solids.


Combine strained mixture and 2 cups cold water in a pitcher and stir to combine.


Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
