Have you ever tried horchata? It’s a traditional Latin American or Spanish beverage made from ground almonds, tiger nuts, or rice.
I’ve heard it described as tasting like rice pudding, finely blended – sweet with a cinnamon and vanilla flavor.
That’s a pretty good description. It’s really tasty.
It comes in many varieties, and you can combine it with delicious flavors to make a tasty alcoholic horchata drink for fall or winter, just like this one!

- If you want to cool it down, add one ice cube. Just don’t overdo it because it will thin down the deliciousness.
