Kava Horchata with Kava: Cinnamon

Treat yourself to a hint of spice and everything nice! Horchata is a beloved drink in Latin America and Spain, and this mocktail is one of our favorite ways to enjoy Kava: Cinnamon. This tasty iced beverage is sweet, creamy, and with 4 servings, great to share with friends!

Instructions

1. Thoroughly wash and rinse the rice in a strainer over the sink.
2. Combine the rice, water, and Cinnamon stick in a bowl, cover, and leave to soak overnight (or for at least 8 hours) in the refrigerator.
3. Remove the Cinnamon stick, then pour the rice and water into a blender, adding the Vanilla extract. Blend until smooth (approximately 2-3 minutes).
4. Strain the liquid into a pitcher using a cheesecloth, nut milk bag, or very fine mesh strainer. Squeeze and press the "pulp" to pass as much liquid as possible, then discard the pulp, and repeat the straining process 1 or 2 more times to ensure the liquid is well-strained.
5. Add the milk and sugar into a small pot and warm over low heat until the sugar is dissolved, then remove from heat.
6. Combine the two liquid mixtures in a pitcher, stirring well to combine.
7. Add ice to 4 glasses, then divide the Horchata liquid between the glasses.
8. Add one serving of Kava: Cinnamon extract to each glass, stirring well to combine.
9. Option to add a garnish of a sprinkle of ground Cinnamon powder on top or a Cinnamon stick in each drink if desired.
10. Cheers and enjoy!
