Make Horchata with 8th Continent Soy Milk!

milk_explosion_logo-1

Horchata is a  creamy cinnamon-spiked beverage that is a perfect balance to any spicy Mexican meal and an awesome drink as a summer pick-me-up!

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Servings: 12

Ingredients:

1 cup rice (uncooked)
2 sticks cinnamon, broken into 2 or 3 pieces
2 cups 8th Continent Soy Milk
1 small can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
ground cinnamon

Instructions:

Combine rice and cinnamon stick pieces in a large, stainless steel or ceramic bowl. Stir in 12 cups of water. Let mixture stand at room temperature until rice is very soft, 6 or more hours, or up to overnight.

Without disturbing the rice on the bottom, pour most of the water into a large jug; reserve. Remove cinnamon from rice mixture and reserve. Add 8th Continent soy milk, condensed milk, sugar and vanilla to the rice mixture. Stir to mix. Process in blender or food processor, working in batches, until as smooth as possible. Stir mixture into reserved water. Return cinnamon pieces to the mixture; chill thoroughly.

Remove cinnamon sticks. Shake or stir punch briskly and serve in tall glasses packed with ice cubes.

You can garnish each glass with some sprinkles of cinnamon if you’d like!

Let me know how it tastes, I feel like there should be a fiesta going on at time of consumption.

Totally Making This Tonight!

Sooo I have been looking for things to actually make in the kitchen ever since I have decided to do this whole vegetarian thing.

The only thing worse than my handwriting is my cooking. (I blame this on computers and microwaves. I am a victim of technology.) :-)

So of course I run to www.8thcontinent.com to look at their recipes and see what they have to offer.

Oh man- Corn Cheddar and Tomato Quiche? I am SO down!

Got it from the site- I will tell you how it tastes and if you want to also make it you can go to this link:
