Making horchata with fruit

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Lolas-Horchata/Detail.aspx

This is so good. I'm making these each day instead of drinking soda. I didn't know how satisfied I'd be with anything but soda.
I do the recipe a little different then the one I put up here.

1 cup of rice in bowl or plastic dish to cover
2 cups of hot water
a few shakes of cinnamon powder. I've heard its even better with cinnamon sticks
I put a lid on this and let it sit for hours or even overnight

I think put it in a blender and blend it for about a minute
Strain it through a tight strainer or cheese cloth into a pitcher.
Add 2 teaspoons vanilla and sugar to taste
I cut up part of a cantaloupe and put it in. The horchata takes in the flavor. Can do this with other fruit. I'll edit this later with other fruits to use.
Pour into a glass of ice.
