Soak the rice, cinnamon stick pieces, and almonds in 1 cup of water overnight, or at least 5 hours.
In a food processor or blender, grind the rice, cinnamon stick pieces, and almonds with the soaking water.
Once grounded finely, add the evaporated milk and condensed milk. Pulse for a few times until well blended.
Strain the mixture and transfer to a big pitcher.
Add the rest of the water and ice cubes. Stir well before pouring out to serve.

Notes
There may still be some gritty bits after 1 straining. I personally like the gritty bits but if you want a smoother texture, strain some more.
Add more condensed milk if you want a sweeter taste.
