Wild Rice Horchata

A few weeks ago I posted a recipe for horchata. I thought about how I can modify this sweet, spiced, rice milk drink and wanted to play around with the rice component. Here I made a rice milk from both white rice and wild rice. Wild rice is actually not rice, but rather a water-dwelling grass native to Minnesota. In this horchata, wild rice adds a nice bitterness to the sweet rice milk and makes this a truly American version of the Latin drink. To make it, simply substitute 1/4 c. white rice for wild rice in the original recipe.
