If you feel like experimenting, try using cashews or pecans in place of the almonds.

Ingredients

4 Servings

¼

cup brown rice

2

tablespoons coffee beans

¼

cup raw almonds

½

cinnamon stick, crushed

¼

cup sugar

Pinch of kosher salt

Special Equipment

A spice mill or coffee grinder

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Using spice mill or coffee grinder, coarsely grind rice and transfer to a 2-qt. airtight container. Coarsely grind coffee beans and place in same container as rice. Add almonds, cinnamon stick, and 4 cups water. Cover and let soak in refrigerator overnight.

    Step 2

    Bring sugar and ¼ cup water to a boil in a small saucepan, swirling pan occasionally to dissolve sugar, about 3 minutes. Transfer simple syrup to a heatproof container; cover and chill until cool, at least 30 minutes.

    Step 3

    Transfer rice mixture to a blender and blend until very smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Sweeten latte to taste with simple syrup and add salt. Serve over ice.

    Step 4

    Do Ahead: Latte can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.

  • I think you could definitely make it with white rice, since horchata usually is. It's nice with the brown rice because of the nuttier flavor, which I think complements the almonds and coffee nicely. I made my simple syrup with brown sugar and it was delicious! I still ended up with a fair amount of "silt" after double straining, but it sinks to the bottom for the most part. Great dairy-free alternative.

  • This looks awesome! I can't wait to try it. Is there any reason you couldn't use white rice instead of brown?
