If you’ve never had this before, you will crave Horchata for All Occasions!

I discovered this drink that is common in some of the Hispanic communities down in Texas, and I thought it was delicious…

However, I thought I could make it myself at home, and sure enough, I can and it is fabulous!

Horchata for All Occasions:

In this recipe, I’ve used cooked long grain rice, but whatever rice you have on hand or prefer is just fine. Even minute rice would work well.

Type: Beverage Recipe

Serve With: If you would like to mix this drink, you may add brandy, rum (I prefer Bacardi Anejo), or tequila (in which case they call it “Agua Loco” or “Crazy Water“).
Prep Time: 5 min
Cook Time: 10 min, if you need to cook the rice
Yield: ~ 5 1/2 cups

The ingredients & instructions are listed below the video for measurements & directions. Please enjoy this webisode of Cooking with Kimberly:

Ingredients:

1 pinch sea salt

Instructions:

Blend together all ingredients in a blender.
