Ingredients
1/3 cup white long-grain rice, rinsed
2/3 cup raw almonds
3 cups hot water
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 cup cold water
4 tablespoons agave nectar
Directions
Add rice, almonds, and hot water to blender and blend on high for 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a covered jar or container and leave to soak at room temperature overnight. The next day, line a fine-meshed sieve with one layer of cheesecloth and set it over a deep bowl. Transfer rice-almond mixture back to blender and add sliced strawberries. Add 1 cup cold water and blend on high for 2 minutes. Carefully pour blend through cheesecloth-lined sieve; gather cheesecloth together and squeeze out remaining liquid. Add agave nectar to horchata, whisk together, and serve over ice. Transfer remaining horchata to a bottle or container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
