Horchata (Cinnamon Rice Milk)

SUBMITTED BY: IVYP PHOTO BY: Cooking Surfer

"Recently had homemade rice milk in a Mexican restaurant in San Francisco. I talked to a few friends and they told me a few different ways to make it. Here is a simple version (I like to add vanilla, but it is optional). Seriously, it is the best ever - and, it costs just pennies to make!"
