My Not-So-Secret Potluck Recipe
Dairy-Free Orchata (Mexican Rice Punch)
This is high in protein. Unfortunately, not low in carb, you really need the natural sugar for texture.

2 cups Rice
6 cups water
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup sugar
Procedure:
- Water rice and soak overnight (8-12 hours) in cool place
- Scoop water and rice into a blender, fill half and half in half-way
- Pulse 3 times
- Add ground cinnamon
- Blend 2 seconds
- Pour content into a pitcher and discard rice chunks on the bottom of blender cup
- Repeat above
- Add sugar and stir
- Let sit 1 hour in refrigerator and ready to serve
- Stir slightly and don't disturb the rice particles on the bottom
To serve this refreshing summertime favorite, pour rice punch into glass and add ice.
