Creamy Horchata Latte Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) long grain rice
- 4 cups (960 milliliters) water
- 6 ounces (177 milliliters) warm horchata
- 2 ounces (60 milliliters) espresso
Dairy Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) evaporated milk
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) condensed milk
- Whipped cream
Flavoring Ingredients:
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ground cinnamon (for garnish)
Instructions
- Immerse rice kernels in a spacious, sealed vessel, covering with cool liquid. Allow to rest in refrigerator for a prolonged period, ranging from 8 to 48 hours for optimal infusion.
- Transfer soaked rice and accompanying liquid into blender. Pulverize until achieving a silky, uniform consistency. Carefully filter through ultra-fine mesh, eliminating grainy remnants.
- Introduce evaporated and condensed milks into the strained mixture. Incorporate ground cinnamon and aromatic vanilla extract, whisking thoroughly until perfectly integrated.
- Transfer horchata liquid to a saucepan. Apply moderate thermal energy, stirring consistently to prevent scorching. Gently elevate temperature until reaching desired warmth for latte consumption.
- For individual servings, combine heated horchata with robust espresso shots. Aim for a harmonious 6:2 ratio of creamy base to intense coffee essence.
- Present immediately while steaming. Optional embellishment includes delicate whipped cream crown and gentle cinnamon dusting for enhanced sensory experience.
Notes
- Use long-grain white rice for the smoothest texture, as it blends more evenly and creates a silkier horchata base.
- Soak rice overnight in the refrigerator to ensure maximum starch release and develop a richer, more complex flavor profile.
- Strain the rice mixture multiple times through cheesecloth for an ultra-smooth consistency without gritty particles.
- Adjust milk ratios for dietary preferences: swap evapor
