There`s a particular drink that I LOVEEE, and besides being yummm is also nutritive! :P, Im talking about the famous drink Horchata! its very easy to make and you can find those ingredients at your local market; kids loves it here in Mexico, wich is good instead of giving them trade mark softdrinks, this is healthier!
i n g r e d i e n t s
2 cups of white rice
5 cups water
2 more cups of water for soaking
2-inch piece of cinnamon bark
1 cup sugar
1 cup of evaporated carnation milk
2 Tablespoon of Vanilla extract
Soak the rice and cinnamon in the soaking water for 2 hours. Drain just half of the water, pulse rice and cinnamon and water in a blender until its finely granulated. In a large jug, add the mixture of cinnamon & rice, and the 5 cups of lukewarm water, let it stand for 1 hour. Strain the mixture in to a large Pitcher through a fine sieve or cheesecloth a few times to remove any grittiness (we only want the rice milk). Finally add the sugar, carnation milk and vanilla extract; stir until it is dissolved and chill. Serve in large tumbler glass with lots of ice. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon, if desired.
We have two flavors of Horchata: RICE AND COCONUT. Here’s the recipe for coconut milk Horchata
Coconut Milk Horchata
i n g r e d i e n t s:
2 cups white rice
4 cups water
1 cup coconut milk, or coconut fruit pulp
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup sugar
Same process than before ! Just add the coconut milk after you strained the rice. Or if you get the fruit pulp, process it along the rice to obtain the milk and strain them (rice and coconut pulp) .

Thanks for visiting our blog and thanks for the recipe. Looks great!
My kids especially my son loved horchata and I used to buy it ready-made at the Mexican markets; I am so grateful for a recipe, thought it would be hard to make at home. Glad to see it is definitely doable.
Thank you! yes, kids love it, maybe its the milky taste, I dont know, my son oh he goes crazy when I tell him I am making it!
