- Soak the rice, almonds and cinnamon overnight in 4 cups of hot water.
- The next day pour the soaked ingredients and liquid into a blender and whiz it up until it's very very smooth. This could be 3-5 minutes.

- Add condensed milk, vanilla and elixir and stir well.
- Mix well, serve over ice.
Tips!
This horchata tasted really good with some added rum as well.
