Mango Horchata

Ingredients

• 1 cup Royal Authentic Basmati Rice
• 4 cups water, divided (2 cups for soaking, 2 cups for blending)
• 1 1/2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup evaporated milk
• 1/3 cup monk fruit sweetener, or to taste
• 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, plus extra for garnish
• Ice, for serving

Preparation

1. Combine rinsed rice and 2 cups water in a bowl; soak for 3 hours or overnight.
2. Drain the rice and add it to a blender with the remaining 2 cups water. Blend until very smooth.
3. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher, pressing the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
4. Stir in the whole milk, evaporated milk, monk fruit sweetener, vanilla extract, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon.
5. Blend the diced mango with 1/4 cup of the horchata mixture, then fold it back into the pitcher for a swirled texture. For a smoother, uniform mango horchata, blend everything together instead.
6. Refrigerate until well chilled. Serve over ice and garnish with diced mango and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

A refreshing blend of mango magic and classic horchata comfort.
