  2. Step 2

    Pour through a fine sieve into a large glass or pitcher, pressing solids with the back of a spoon to extract liquid.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in condensed milk, cinnamon, and vanilla until fully combined. Taste and add more sweetener if desired.

  4. Step 4

    Fill two glasses with ice and pour horchata over top. Serve immediately.
