Have you tried Mexican Horchata? Today, we’re diving into the world of Horchata, a traditional drink from Mexico and Latin America.
Horchata is a popular beverage enjoyed throughout Mexico and other parts of Latin America.
The main ingredients of Mexican Horchata are rice, cinnamon, and sugar.
Rice is the base of Horchata. Rice is soaked and blended to extract its flavor, giving the drink a creamy texture.
Cinnamon adds a warm, aromatic flavor that’s essential to Horchata.
Some people add vanilla to enhance the sweetness and aroma of the drink. Evaporate milk is often used to add thickness and creaminess. You could add fruits or cacao power to change the flavor.
Today, we sweeten our Horchata with R’s KOSO, instead of using traditional white sugar. R’s KOSO is a powerhouse of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, polyphenols, probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics. This means you’re not just getting sweetness, but also a range of beneficial nutrients that support gut health and overall well-being.
Making Horchata is time-consuming. You need to soak rice overnight. Then blend all the ingredients and strain to create a smooth, creamy base.
Nowadays nobody has time, so I created an easy Horchata recipe.
Horchata is often enjoyed cold, over ice, on a hot summer day in Mexico. It’s the perfect refreshment to beat the heat and nourish your body. But today I’m going to show you a warm version which I found even more heart-warming.
Here is the recipe.
