Horchata is a Mexican drink that's very refreshing on a hot day. I got this recipe a couple of years ago from a Mexican coworker, and it is the best horchata I've had!

Stages of cooking
-
Pour sugar, cinnamon, and rice into hot water; stir until sugar dissolves. Cover, and let stand at room temperature for at least 3 hours, but preferably overnight.
-
Stir in milk, then puree with a hand blender, or in batches in a standing blender until the rice resembles fine sand. Strain through several layers of cheesecloth, or through a very fine strainer. Serve over ice.
