1. In a large mixing bowl, combine rice, almonds and cinnamon sticks; cover with 3 cups water and set aside to soak for 5-12 hrs.
2. Remove cinnamon sticks (reserve for garnish); pour rice and almond mixture into a fine-mesh strainer, discarding the water completely.
3. Pour strained rice and almond mixture into a blender with evaporated milk and sugar; blend on high until completely smooth (about 1 min.).
4. Strain blended mixture into a jar or pitcher, pressing to extract as much liquid from the mixture as possible. Discard any solids.
5. Stir in remaining water, plant-based milk, vanilla, ground cinnamon and additional sugar, if desired.
6. This mixture will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When ready to serve, pour into individual glasses filled with ice; garnish with cinnamon sticks.
