Horchata Ice Cream
"[Photograph: Max Falkowitz] This ice cream is especially creamy thanks to the rice starch that infuses into the base. It's worth the effort to seek out canela, Mexican or "true" cinnamon, which has a gentler, fruitier flavor than more common cassia bark. Canela can be identified by its matte tan color, thin, papery bark, and citrusy aroma. More about it here. About the author: Max Falkowitz is the editor of Serious Eats: New York.
