Ingredients

1 cup rice
6 cups of water
2 cinnamon sticks
2 cups milk
2 cans of sweetened condensed milk
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

Put the rice in a colander, and rinse under running water until the water runs clear.
In a bowl, put the rice with two cups of water and soak for a couple of hours.
Drain the rice and put it in a pot with the remaining four cups of water and the cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, uncovered.
Once it boils, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 25-30 minutes until the rice has completely absorbed the water.
Let cool completely.
Put the rice in the glass of a blender with the remaining ingredients: milk, sweetened condensed milk, salt, and vanilla extract, and blend until a thick and smooth cream is formed.
Put the chicha to cool in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
When serving, add plenty of crushed ice and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
