Soak the rice overnight or at least 8 hours in water with cinnamon sticks.
The next day, discard cinnamon sticks and blend the rice and water in your blender at the highest speed for about 5 minutes.
Pass through a fine mesh sieve about two times to catch all the gritty bits (A stocking works great). Discard the remaining rice pulp.
Pour into a pitcher; add skim milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla then stir to mix well. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
To serve, fill a glass with ice, pour horchata into a glass. Sprinkle a little cinnamon on each serving just before drinking.
