Instructions:

• Prepare the rice milk and cinnamon: Shake the carton well, open it, and pour the entire 32 oz into a saucepan. Add the cinnamon stick.

• Sweeten:
  Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and whisk until well combined.

• Simmer:
  Let the mixture simmer with the cinnamon sticks for about 1 hour, reducing slightly.

• Thin it out:
  Transfer the mixture to a pitcher. Add 2 cups of boiling water to dilute so it’s not overly sweet.

• Cool and chill:
  Let the horchata come to room temperature, then chill it in the refrigerator.

  Pour over ice, sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon, and enjoy!
