How to make amaranth horchata:

• Do you wonder how amaranth is prepared? To start with the amaranth horchata recipe, you must first soak the rice, amaranth and cinnamon stick in half a liter of water. Let it rest for at least 2 hours, you can also leave it overnight.
• When the rice and amaranth have soaked, it goes to the blender together with the cinnamon. Blend approximately 3-4 minutes. Cinnamon will provide an intense, but moderate flavor. However, you can skip it.
• Strain the mixture to get rid of any remaining rice, amaranth and cinnamon paste.
• Return the strained mixture to the blender. Then, add the milk, the evaporated milk and the condensed milk, you must also add some ice. Blend for a couple of minutes. You can also make amaranth with vegetable milk.
• Tip: you should know that the amaranth smoothie without milk is also delicious.
• Serve the amaranth milk immediately. And, if you wish, you can add more ice and sprinkle a little amaranth
• Tip: if you prefer, you can also sprinkle ground cinnamon or grated table chocolate on the surface of the horchata.
