Rinse the rice twice until water runs clear. Strain and place in a medium bowl.
Add the cinnamon stick and two cups of very hot water. The water should cover the rice completely. Cover with a lid or kitchen towel and let it rest overnight (around 8 hours).
The next day, mix one cup of very hot water with the ground coffee. You can use a coffee maker, french press, or you can combine them in a pot.
Strain and set aside.
Place the soaked rice with the water and cinnamon stick in a blender or food processor and mix until completely integrated.
Strain mixture into a pitcher. Return the strained rice paste to the blender, add two cups of water and mix again.
Strain this mixture into the pitcher, this time pushing the paste against the strainer to get as much liquid out as possible. Discard the rice-cinnamon paste.
Pour condensed milk, coffee and the rest of the water into the pitcher. Mix well.
Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour to allow the rice sediments to drop to the bottom. If you skip this step you will end with a "sandy" feeling in your mouth.
Serve very cold. Enjoy!
