I'm sharing my version of the beloved Mexican drink, horchata. While there are many variations on this plant based drink, I'm sharing a dairy version that's easily converted to a dairy-free version. 

I was inspired to make this drink when my children asked to buy Horchata at a local ethnic market. For years they carried it, but sadly they didn't have it anymore. Instead, I decided to diy my own recipe based on the ingredients I remember being in the drink when we used to buy it. I encourage you to play around with the proportions until you find a combination that works well for you.

Here's the recipe as shown in the video:
Blend together 2 cups of ice, 3-4 teaspoons of brown sugar (or sugar of choice), 2 cups almond milk, about 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla. Add 2 cups of nonfat milk and 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Mix well and serve as a slushy or wait until the ice melts and serve cold. The long it sits, the more the flavors will blend together. You can also warm this up for a great alternative to hot chocolate. 

Post your variations of this drink in the comment section!
