Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 c. rice washed if desired!
  • Water large pot; fill halfway full
  • 2 12 oz cans evaporated milk
  • 1 15 oz can cream of coconut
  • 2 c. sugar
  • 2 TB vanilla
  • Cinnamon to taste

Instructions

  • Cook rice.
  • Drain and set aside.
  • Fill a large pot of water half-way full of water.
  • Add 2 c. sugar (it should be sweet to the taste, if not - add more!)
  • Set aside.
  • In a blender, add cooked rice, evaporated milk, cream of coconut, vanilla and cinnamon.
  • Blend.
  • Put through a fine mesh strainer (it will be thick) and add to the sugar water.
  • Take the dregs of rice and add a cup or two of sugar water (from the large pot) back into the blender.
  • Blend again.
  • Strain.
  • Blend again if necessary. (I usually don't, but have at it!)
  • Discard extra rice (that won't go through the fine mesh strainer)
  • Serve cold or with ice.
