HORCHATA DE ARROZ

This Mexican horchata recipe is very easy to make and uber flavorful. It contains all the traditional ingredients authentic horchata has, but I've made a few adjustments to make it even richer and creamier!

You make Mexican horchata with rice.

Spanish horchata uses tiger nuts.

IS HORCHATA VEGAN?

My recipe isn’t vegan. However, you can easily turn it vegan by using a vegan evaporated milk product and vegan milk.

IS MEXICAN HORCHATA HEALTHY?

While this drink is loaded with vitamins and minerals (especially calcium, magnesium, and iron), I can’t pretend that it’s completely healthy. It does contain fat and sugar which makes this drink high in calories.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Soak the rice: Combine the uncooked white rice, chopped almonds, and cinnamon sticks (or powder) in a large bowl or pot.

2. Cover the mixture with water and mix them well so the flavors distribute evenly.

3. Leave the mixture to soak for at least 5 hours but preferably overnight.
