Step 1

Add 1 cup white rice to a blender or food processor and grind it as fine as you can.

Step 2

Add 3/4 cup raw almonds, 1 cinnamon stick, 1/4 cup sugar and only 4 cups of warm water.  Blend together.

Step 3

Let this mixture sit overnight in the fridge.

Step 4

The next day, give it another blend and then add 4 cups of cold water and another 1/2 cup sugar.  Combine well and taste for sweetness, adding more sugar if needed.

Step 5

Strain the mixture and discard the leftover solids.  Using a fine mesh sieve works but you can also add a few layers of cheesecloth to it if you want.

Step 6

Serve immediately over ice and optionally add a final dash of cinnamon.
