Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup rice
  • 8 cups water divided
  • 1 big Mexican cinnamon stick
  • 3-4 tablespoons ground coffee
  • 1 can condensed milk

Utensilios

  • Sieve or strainer
  • Medium-size bowl
  • Coffee maker or French press
  • BlenderPitcher

Instructions

  • 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!
