Gather @long-grain rice{200%g} and @vanilla extract{1%tsp}.

Rinse the rice, then soak it with the @cinnamon{2} sticks in 750 ml of the @water{1.5%l} for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight. ~{4%hours}

Blend the rice, cinnamon and soaking water on high until as smooth as your blender allows, about 2 minutes. ~{2%minutes}

Strain through a fine sieve — twice, or through cloth — into a pitcher, pressing on the solids.

Stir in the remaining water, the @sugar{100%g} and vanilla until dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness.

Chill well and serve over plenty of ice, stirring first — horchata settles as it sits. ~{1%hours}
