Mexico's beloved cinnamon rice milk drink, creamy and refreshing, traditionally served from large glass barrels at street stalls and taquerias.

Soak rice and cinnamon sticks in 400ml water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Blend the soaked rice, cinnamon, and soaking water until very smooth.
Strain through cheesecloth or a fine sieve twice for a silky texture.
Add remaining water, milk, sugar, and vanilla.
Stir until sugar is fully dissolved.
Serve over ice in a tall glass, this is Mexico's most iconic agua fresca.
