Homemade Horchata 🤍🤎
🇲🇽✨ In honor of Latin Heritage Month, I had to make one of my favorite traditional drinks—homemade horchata. Creamy, sweet, and perfectly spiced, it’s a classic that always feels like comfort in a glass.
Ingredients:
• 1 cup rice
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1 can evaporated milk
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Water or milk (to thin)
• Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon (for garnish)
Directions:
1️⃣ Soak rice + cinnamon sticks overnight in water.
2️⃣ Blend for 2 minutes → strain.
3️⃣ Pour liquid back into blender with evaporated milk, condensed milk, vanilla + enough water or milk to reach your desired consistency.
4️⃣ Blend again + strain.
5️⃣ Serve over ice and garnish with a cinnamon stick or sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
✨ A simple recipe, but one that carries so much history, joy, and heart.
