Step 2: Grinding Time

Gring rice using blender, blend cinnamon stick with rice in a medium speed for 1-2 minutes until finely ground. Rice should be pureed enough that it doesnt look to thick or to thin. if you dont blend the rice well when you go to drink it youre going to taste the thickness of the water and its not going to tastes as good. You want to have that texture of between thick and thin.

Step 3: Repeat

Repeat step 2 twice. Use the same rice and the same amount of water every time. This will help get more liquid. After you are done with this step, throw away leftover rice. This will help you stay clean, rice tends to get messy after blending.
