Genmai Tea Infused Jasmine Rice Horchata
You can make horchata with a variety of grains and infuse it with all kinds of flavors. I really like the combination of jasmine rice and tea, and the water-like viscosity of this lighter horchata combined with genmai tea is a refreshing pairing for a number of Asian-inspired dishes.
Note: This recipe is for the lighter Mexican style horchata rather than the heavier tiger nut-based Spanish style.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Soak the rice in 3 cups of water for 2 to 3 hours, stirring two or three times during the process to make sure all the grains are steeped. Microwave your tea bags for 30 seconds and steep the tea in the mixture as well. (your tea bag staples will be just fine in the microwave for that short amount of time). (Microwaving the tea blooms the flavor and infuses the cold liquid more quickly than if you hadn't heated the tea.)
- 2
Remove the tea, put the rice and water in a blender and blend, starting on low, and then eventually moving to the liquefy setting. Blend at the liquefy setting for 20 seconds or so.
- 3
Stop the blender, add the remaining ingredients including the other 3 cups of water, and blend (again starting on a low setting and moving to the high setting to avoid splatter) for a good minute or so.
- 4
Pour the content of the blender, including the rice, into a pitcher (including the tea bags if you'd like more tea flavor) and cool in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- 5
You can either strain the horchata through a fine sieve or china cap before or when serving or you can just keep the rice in the pitcher and just allow it to settle to the bottom like silt. Keeping the rice rather than straining allows the rice to continue to add flavor and body to the horchata as it settles, and you'll have to problems pouring the horchata into a glass without accompanying rice particles.

Enjoy!

The Best Tea Rice Using Matcha Tea Powder The Best Tea Rice Using Matcha Tea Powder
These days "tea rice" means rice that is tea-colored, cooked in soy sauce and sake or mirin, not actually cooked with brewed tea. But I thought that rice cooked with matcha should be colorful and delicious, so I tried it out.You can taste the matcha flavor better when the rice is cool. The fragrance that fills your senses when you take a mouthful of rice is really delicious. Don't add the individual seasonings to the rice directly, but mix them well together first.
