Ingredients

2/3 cup brown rice
3 cups warm water
1 (2-inch) cinnamon stick
2 cups cashew milk
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

1

Add the rice to a blender. Pulse until finely ground, almost like flour. Transfer to a bowl and add the water and cinnamon stick. Stir until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours.
2

Dump the mixture into a blender and blend until as smooth as possible. (This will still be slightly grainy!) Strain into a pitcher through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. Stir in the cashew milk, sugar, and salt. Whisk until the sugar dissolves.
3

Chill completely before serving. Serve over ice.
