Ingredients

  • 7 cup boiling water

  • 3 cup uncooked long grain rice

  • 6 inches stick cinnamon

  • ¾ cup sugar

  • 5 cup vanilla-flavor unsweetened almond milk or rice milk, or reduced-fat milk

  • 3 tablespoon instant espresso coffee powder or dark-roast coffee powder

  • Ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions

  1. In a large pitcher or bowl combine boiling water, rice, and stick cinnamon. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 6 to 24 hours. Remove stick cinnamon.

  2. Working in batches, in a blender combine rice mixture and sugar. Cover and blend on high speed until nearly smooth (mixture will still have bits of rice). Line a sieve with cheesecloth and strain mixture into a 4-quart slow cooker. Stir in almond milk and coffee powder.

  3. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 4 hours, whisking once halfway through cooking.

  4. Whisk well before serving. Serve in coffee cups or mugs. If desired, sprinkle each serving with ground cinnamon. Makes 22 servings.

TIP:

To make iced latte, cover and chill any leftover latte. Serve over ice.
