## Ingredients
```text title="Ingredients"
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 cinnamon sticks
12 oz can evaporated milk
12 oz can sweetened condensed milk
8 cups warm water, divided
Sugar to taste
Ground cinnamon, for garnish (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
```
<Admonition type="info" title="Soaking">
<p>
It is worth the time to soak the cinnamon and rice, helping you pull out more flavor and end with a product that is less lightly flavored water and more of a thicker drink.
</p>
</Admonition>
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="instructions" label="Instructions">
1. Rinse the **rice** under cold water. In a bowl, combine **rice**, **cinnamon sticks**, and 4 cups of **warm water**. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Remove most of the **cinnamon sticks**, leaving a few small pieces.
3. Blend the soaked mixture in two batches until very smooth, about 34 minutes per batch.
4. Pour through a finemesh strainer or cheesecloth into a pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Repeat with the remaining batch.
5. Stir in the **evaporated milk**, **sweetened condensed milk**, **vanilla** (if using), and the remaining 4 cups **water**. Adjust sweetness with **sugar** to taste.
6. Chill thoroughly, then stir and serve over ice. Garnish with **ground cinnamon**, if desired.
<Admonition type="info" title="Blending">
<p>
Heed the instructions and blend in batches. Water easily escapes from the blender or food processor and this stuff gets everywhere.

# Cauliflower Mash
<Tabs>
<TabItem value="photos" label="Photos" default>
Silky mashed cauliflower that eats like mashed potatoes but healthier (?).
![image](@site/docs/static/img/not-found.svg)
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ingredients" label="Ingredients">
```text title="Cauliflower Mash"
1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets (about 2 to 2.5 lb)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or olive oil)
2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
2 ounces cream cheese (about 1/4 cup) or 1/4 cup sour cream/Greek yogurt
1/4 to 1/2 cup milk or heavy cream, warmed
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan (optional)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Chives or parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
```
<Admonition type="info" title="Drain Well">
<p>Waterlogged cauliflower makes a loose mash. After cooking, let the florets steamdry and drive off moisture for a fluffier, creamier texture.</p>
</Admonition>
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="instructions" label="Instructions">
1. Trim and cut the **cauliflower** into medium florets.
2. Cook until very tender: steam 1012 minutes (preferred) or boil 810 minutes. The florets should crush easily with tongs.
3. Drain thoroughly in a colander and let steamdry 35 minutes. For extra dryness, return to the empty pot over low heat for 12 minutes, stirring.
4. In a small pan, melt **butter** and gently cook the **garlic** 12 minutes until fragrant (do not brown). Skip if using garlic powder.
5. In a food processor or with an immersion blender, combine the hot **cauliflower**, melted **butter/garlic**, **cream cheese** (or sour cream/yogurt), and half of the **milk/cream**. Blend until smooth and silky, scraping as needed.
6. Add **Parmesan** (if using), **salt**, and **pepper**. Pulse to combine. Adjust thickness with more warm **milk/cream**. Taste and season.
7. Transfer to a bowl, garnish with **chives/parsley**, and serve hot.
<Admonition type="info" title="Make It Yours">
<p>For ultrasmooth mash, strain through a fine sieve. For dairyfree, use olive oil and unsweetened almond milk. Addins: roasted garlic, horseradish, or a spoon of sour cream for tang.</p>
