Refreshing homemade Horchata! This easy to make, authentic Mexican drink is the perfect recipe to have on hand as those hot sunny days are just around the corner. Plus it's the perfect compliment to all your favorite Mexican meals and it's a staple for that Cinco de Mayo party!
Consider serving it paired with my favorite Grilled Chicken Street Tacos, Slow Cooker Barbacoa Beef, or Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas.
What is Horchata?
Horchata is a traditional Mexican drink made up of white rice soaked in water, it's flavored with cinnamon and its sweetened with granulated sugar. Everything is minced up together in a blender and later strained to remove solids. Some versions are dairy free while others contain milk and some versions contain nuts or added flavor like vanilla or coconut.
I've tried several recipes using different ratios, different types of rice, I've tried adding nuts or leaving them out, and also experimented using whole cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon. After all the tasty trials this one was my favorite.
It's incredibly easy to make and it tastes just as good, if not better than the horchata you'll get from Mexican restaurants! Everyone will love this simple, satisfying drink!
