- 0.5 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 0.5 cup Granulated Sugar

Method
- Add 2 cups of water, rice, cinnamon, and vanilla to a blender.
- Blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes or until the rice is finely chopped and blended.
- Place a fine mesh strainer over the top of a pitcher and strain the mixture into the pitcher so that there are no chunks.
- Add in the sugar and stir well to combine until dissolved.
- Add in the remaining water and stir to combine.
- If desired, you can stir in one cup of milk for a cloudier look.
- Serve over ice in your drinking glasses.

Medium Grain
Medium grain rice has short, plump grains that cook up soft, moist and slightly sticky — the grains cling together gently, making it easy to serve and eat. Sunwhite® medium grain Calrose rice is grown in Australia and loved across the Middle East for everyday family meals.
Its tender texture makes it ideal for dishes where the rice soaks up rich flavours — kabsa, mansaf, maqluba and machboos — as well as sushi, paella and creamy rice desserts.
