Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Place the uncooked rice and cinnamon stick in a medium bowl.
- Completely cover the rice with hot water.
- Cover the bowl and leave the rice to soak for at least 6 hours but preferably overnight.
- Soaking will soften the rice, making it easier to blend.
- The next morning, pour the soaked rice, cinnamon stick, and water into a blender.
- Add pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, condensed milk, vanilla and pumpkin spice.
- Blend for 3-4 minutes until smooth.
- Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth or a nut milk bag into a pitcher.
- Squeeze or press the cheesecloth or nut milk bag to get as much liquid from the solids as possible.
- Dispose of the rice solids.
- Mix in 2 cups of cold water.
- Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour until cold.
- Stir the drink before serving to ensure that any settled ingredients are incorporated.
- Pour over ice and garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or pumpkin spice if desired.
Notes
- For a dairy-free or vegan option, use almond milk or evaporated coconut milk in place of the evaporated milk. Then, replace the sweetened condensed milk with coconut condensed milk.
