How to prepare real chicha criolla with toasted rice

Well friends, as I said, chicha made with toasted rice is very delicious and has a pleasant aroma. I have always prepared this recipe at home and my children love it with plenty of cinnamon and condensed milk. So I recommend this recipe, I assure you that after trying this chicha you will like it.

Ingredients for 4 glasses of chicha:

• A cup of white rice
• 8 tablespoons of refined sugar
• Cinnamon (to each person's taste)

• Step-1: To begin, I am going to toast the rice in a frying pan, trying to constantly move the grains so that they do not burn, the idea is that the grains brown without burning, these grains will be ready when they acquire a color light brown, and in addition to this, we can split them easily:

The rice now looks well toasted:

• Step-2: Once the rice grains are toasted, we cook them in a pot. For this amount of rice (1 cup) we can add 5 cups of water, because the idea is for the rice to cook well and be soft:

• Step-3: After cooking the rice, now we are going to liquefy all this material and at the same time I am going to add the sugar, but to facilitate the liquefaction we are going to add a little water, we must use the minimum amount of water , just so that the blender blends the rice well, because the idea is that the mixture is thick, because the true chicha criolla is thick:

Well friends, in these three steps, I have managed to make a delicious chicha criolla with toasted rice, so I can now serve it with enough ice and cinnamon.
