This is my favorite recipe for Horchata so far. This recipe taste more like the traditional horchata at my favorite mexican restaurants. I like the fact that you don't have to wait overnight for the rice to soak. I also like the fact that you don't have to filter the drink. I don't think my fav. mexican restaurant filters there. I had to be careful with the cinnamon at the end. Next time I make this I will put a new stick in the finished drink while it's cooling. That way I can avoid any floating little sticks of cinnamon that broke off. As far as the changes I made- I think I only put 11 cups of water. I was afraid that it might come out to watery. I put another 1/2 cup of sugar. (My family likes it sweet) My kids claimed it came out perfect so I wanted to share my results!
