DD> 8<----- YOU KNOW ----->8 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Horchata Categories: Five, Grains, Nuts, Beverages Yield: 8 servings 2 c Uncooked long-grain white - rice 1 c Whole raw, unsalted almonds; - optional 1 c Granulated sugar 1 tb Ground cinnamon; more to - taste Put the rice, almonds (if using) and 8 cups water into a large pitcher or bowl. Cover container and let soak overnight (at least 8 hours) at room temperature. Remove 4 cups liquid from the rice and almonds; reserve. Transfer the remaining liquid, rice and almonds to a blender, and blend, in batches if necessary, until solids are finely ground, 2 to 3 minutes. Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl and pour the ground rice and almond mixture into the strainer. Use a spoon to press the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. (You could also strain the liquid through a cheesecloth if you want your horchata to be extra smooth.) Discard the solids. Transfer the strained liquid to a large pitcher (or keep it in the bowl) and mix in the reserved 4 cups liquid from Step 2. Add sugar and cinnamon, and stir well. Serve over ice and dust with ground cinnamon, if desired. TIP: The horchata is best consumed the day it's made, but it will keep up to 2 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Stir vigorously before serving. By: Kiera Wright-Ruiz Yield: 8 servings RECIPE FROM: https://cooking.nytimes.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM ....
