Horchata – Mexican-Style Almond and Rice Drink
<p><em>Horchata</em> is a refreshing drink enjoyed throughout Latin America. In Mexico, <em>horchata</em> is one of the most popular flavors of the famous <em>aguas frescas</em>, which are cold juices traditionally prepared in large glass jugs served over ice. The original horchata recipe came to Mexico from Spain, where it is made with tiger nuts and is called <em>Agua de Chufa</em>. </p> <p>In this Mexican-style <em>horchata</em> recipe, almonds and rice are ground together with water, sugar and cinnamon, then strained to create a light but rich drink that comes close to the original Spanish flavor: not too sweet, creamy and dairy-free.</p>
