To begin with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can cook genmai tea infused jasmine rice horchata using 6 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Genmai Tea Infused Jasmine Rice Horchata:
  1. Get 1 + 1/4 cups uncooked jasmine rice
  2. Make ready 6 cups water total
  3. Take 1 cup milk
  4. Make ready 1/3-1/2 cup sugar, depending on how sweet you like your horchata
  5. Make ready 1/2 teaspoon salt
  6. Prepare 2 bags genmai tea (or you could use a number of other Asian teas like green, oolong, jasmine…)

My sweeteners of choice for horchata are either agave or regular sugar. The scent of Genmaicha combines grassy sweetness with toasty richness, a cue to the exquisite flavor of the tea, as well as the unique ingredients. Unlike most teas, Genmaicha consists of a steamed green tea (usually Sencha, an early harvest green tea, or Bancha, a lower grade, later harvest tea) combined with kernels of toasted brown rice. Add rice, almonds and cinnamon sticks to a high speed blender.

Instructions to make Genmai Tea Infused Jasmine Rice Horchata:
  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.
  6. Enjoy!
