Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the uncooked rice, cinnamon sticks, and 2 cups of water.

3. Add the remaining 2 cups of water to the blender and blend again for about 30 seconds until well mixed.

5. Discard the rice solids, and transfer the strained horchata to a pitcher.
6. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined, adjusting sweetness to taste.
7. Fill two glasses with ice cubes, about halfway.
8. Pour 1/2 cup of cold brew coffee into each glass over the ice.
