Vanilla Horchata Smoothie Recipes

Steps:

• Place the rice in a blender or spice grinder and process until thoroughly pulverized. Take your time doing this - this is a critical step and the more finely ground the rice, the better the horchata will be. Transfer to a large bowl or pitcher and add the almonds, cinnamon, and lime zest. Add about 3 cups of hot water, cover, and let stand overnight.
• The next day, transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until mixture is as smooth as it will get, again taking your time to allow to get as smooth as possible. Add 2 cups additional cool water and blend again until thoroughly combined. Pour mixture through a strainer lined with 3 layers of fine cheesecloth set over a bowl, little by little, pressing on solids and stirring to help mixture pass through the cloth. The more slowly you strain the mixture, the smoother the horchata will be. Transfer to a pitcher and add 2 cups more water, until the mixture is a pleasant, smooth consistency. Add sugar and vanilla extract, to taste. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
• Serve cold over ice.

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to a pitcher with a tight fitting lid.
• (or put in blender) Shake until combined.
• Drink or chill.
• (refreshing over ice).
• You can also add a bit of almond extract, or chocolate syrup.

Steps:

• Combine everything in a blender. Pulse the machine, then turn it on and purée until smooth. If you're not getting enough action, add juice or water a little at a time until the machine gets a grip. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place about half the rice and 2 cups water in a blender; pulse until rice is roughly ground.
• Pour about 3 cups more water in blender and add 2 cinnamon sticks; blend until cinnamon sticks are broken to pieces.
• Pour rice mixture into a large pitcher.
• Repeat the steps until all the rice, water, and cinnamon sticks are blended and poured into the pitcher.
• Cover and refrigerate pitcher for at least 4 hours to overnight.
• Strain rice mixture through a sieve into another pitcher or bowl and discard rice and cinnamon.
• Stir soy milk, sugar, and vanilla extract into the strained liquid; chill until ready to serve.
