My boyfriend is Mexican, and thanks to him my stomach has been opened up
to a whole new culture of gastric delights. Horchata is an amazing
drink that tastes basically like liquid rice pudding. It is so good.
Then I tried it with rum...even better. This is so easy to make, just
takes a little while (Lots of soaking involved). We first made this on
Saturday for the Cinco de Mayo party, but we never took any pictures.
Today I made more...now I have almost too much...except there is no such
thing as too much horchata lol. I got the recipe from here.
As a side note, when it is combined with rum it is extremely dangerous. the wonderful flavor of the horchata hides the taste of alcohol almost too well. So, if you do decide to make this and add rum, please be safe :).
