Ingredients

4 servings

1 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
1 cinnamon stick (about 3 inches)
2 cups water, for soaking
2 cups plant-based milk
¼ cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp ground cinnamon, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the rice and cinnamon stick in a large bowl or pitcher. Pour in the 2 cups of soaking water, cover, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight, until the rice has softened and the water is lightly cloudy and fragrant.
2
Transfer the soaked rice, cinnamon stick, and all of the soaking liquid to a blender. Blend on high for 2 full minutes, until the mixture is as smooth as possible and the liquid looks opaque and milky.
