Serving Size : 8
Categories : Beverage
1 1/2 quarts hot -- not boiling -- water
3 cups rice
2 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon -- divided
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups rice milk
In large bowl, pour hot water over rice and 2 teaspoon cinnamon. Soak 24
hours, covered. Drain liquid from rice, reserving liquid. In food
processor or blender, process
rice in two batches with bout 1 cup of soaking liquid per batch until
nearly smooth. Return rice to remaining soaking liquid. Strain mixture
through several layers of cheesecloth or coffee filters. (This could take
as long as an hour.)

Refrigerate until chilled . Before serving, process or shake to thoroughly
blend. Makes 8 servings of about 1 cup each.
Helpful Hint: Try making this drink with different varieties of rice.
Jasmine rice, for example, creates a different flavor than basmati or
other rice.
