California Cling Peach Horchata

Instructions

1. Rinse the rice under cold water and strain.
2. In a large bowl, combine the rice with 2 cups of warm water and the cinnamon stick. Allow the mixture to soak 2 two hours, allowing the rice to soften and absorb the aromatic flavor of the cinnamon.
3. Transfer the soaked rice, its water, and the cinnamon stick to a blender or food processor. Add two cups of cold water and blend until the rice and cinnamon are finely ground.
4. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer lined with a doubled layer of cheesecloth into a large bowl to remove the solids.
5. Pour the filtered horchata mixture into a large pitcher and stir in the reserved peach juice, evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk.
6. Fill glasses with ice then pour the horchata over. Top with chunks of California Cling Peaches, a cinnamon stick and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon. For an extra kick, add a shot of espresso!
