    Horchata is an ice-cold Mexican drink made with rice. A true comfort food, the flavor of horchata is reminiscent of rice pudding. This easy drink recipe is creamy, cold, and refreshing!

    Fall is my favorite time of year! Brisk nights and lazy 70 degree days make for the perfect weather to sip some homemade Horchata.

    Horchata is one of my most favorite desserts...ever! Refreshingly sweet and smooth, horchata is simple to make at home.

    Sugar measurement can be adjusted to create a healthy and delicious children's drink, or easily spiked with Mexican rum to create a sublime cocktail hour version.

    Horchata

    I'm still enjoying what's left of the beautiful colored fall leaves, and warm Indian Summer. It won't be long before the grass turns brown, the trees are bare and I'm forced to don closed toe shoes! Here's to cozy fall weather, pumpkin palmiers, and a sweet horchata to wash it down.

        Belinda, I think the drink will be smashing with coconut milk and brown rice! I've been wanting a magic bullet for a long time, maybe need to put it on my Christmas wish list! Let me know how yours turns out!
