Yield: 4 Raciones (8 fl. oz. each)
Take a traditional Mexican Horchata and make it your own using brown rice and almond milk. The result is a creamy, not-too-sweet, plant-based toddy with a touch of vanilla fizz and Mexican chocolate.
Preparation Instructions:
Step 1
In a stock pot, bring almond milk and cinnamon stick to a boil over medium heat. Add brown rice and return to a boil. Remove from heat, cover and let stand at room temperature for at least 3 hours.
Step 2
Add almond milk mixture to a blender and process until smooth. Strain almond milk through several layers of cheesecloth, or through a very fine strainer. Discard solids. Add maple syrup, stir to combine, transfer to a glass container and refrigerate.
Step 3
For each serving; place large ice cube into cocktail glass. Pour a heavy 1/4 cup of almond milk mixture into the glass, top with 3 fl. oz. vanilla sparkling water, 2 fl. oz. rum and sprinkle with Mexican chocolate powder.
