Why buy it when you can make it? Super quick and easy!
This is FANTASTIC -- totally better than store bought. I will be making this at home from now on. Used my rice cooker to make the rice, added a bit more water than usual to cook it, which worked perfectly. When I blended it, I added the vanilla. I strained with a nut milk bag, and it caught all of the little particles (although there were not that many because I used more water when cooking the rice to ensure....this is better than soaking the grains overnight). Can't wait to make this for my Mom. Also, I used short grain rice...horchata uses long grain :)

This recipe is a great alternative to store bought. Fresher, without additives. I'm not sure if it thickens in the fridge, but I like my "milk" a little less watery, so I blended double the rice. That was a little too thick, but I liked the creaminess. I will try 3/4 of a cup to 2 cups water next time. I liked the vanilla taste, too. Great lactose free alternative that is much closer to milk without all of the gums and thickeners. We'll see if it thickens over night in the fridge.
