BROWN RICE HORCHATA WITH CINNAMON AND ORANGE

Ingredients

• 1 cup long-grain brown rice
• 1 1/2 cup blanched almonds
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2 wide strips orange peel, white pith removed
• 1 cup turbinado sugar
• Ice cubes for serving

Directions

1. Transfer rice mixture (including cinnamon stick and orange peel) to a blender, add sugar and blend until mixture is as smooth as possible (it will still feel slightly gritty when you rub a drop between your fingers).
2. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing on solids until only moist pulp remains; discard solids.
3. Combine strained mixture and 2 cups cold water in a pitcher and stir to combine.
4. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
