Why This Dish Is Worth Trying

This refreshing drink is sweet, creamy, and full of warm cinnamon flavor. It comes together quickly with just a few ingredients. It’s perfect for cooling down on a hot day or pairing with spicy meals.

Cooking Advice

- Use whole cinnamon sticks for the best flavor.
- Soak the rice longer if you want a stronger taste.
- Blend the mixture well to make it smooth and creamy.

Directions

Pour water into a pitcher and toss in a cinnamon stick. Let it sit while you prepare the rest. In a blender, combine the condensed milk, evaporated milk, rice flour, ground cinnamon, and sugar. Blend everything on high for about a minute or two until it’s smooth and well mixed. Pour this creamy mixture into the pitcher with the water and cinnamon, then give it a good stir to combine all the flavors. Chill it in the fridge or serve it over plenty of ice for a refreshing treat.

Serving Guide

Serve chilled over ice for a refreshing treat. It pairs wonderfully with Mexican dishes like tacos or enchiladas. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for extra aroma.

How To Keep It Fresh

Keep the drink in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It stays fresh for up to 3 days. Stir well before serving, as the ingredients may settle over time.
