Questions about Horchata
What is horchata made from?
It depends on the style: Spanish horchata is traditionally made from tiger nuts, while Mexican-style horchata commonly uses rice, cinnamon and water. Recipes and packaged drinks can include sugar, milk or other ingredients.
How do you make Mexican-style rice horchata?
Soak rice with a cinnamon stick in water for at least four hours, or overnight, then blend until the rice is finely broken up. Strain through a fine sieve or cloth, stir in sugar and cold water or milk, and serve over ice.
How do you make Spanish tiger-nut horchata?
Rinse the tiger nuts and soak them in plenty of cold water for about 12 hours, changing the water once. Drain, blend with fresh water, strain through a fine cloth, sweeten and chill well before serving.
How long does homemade horchata keep in the fridge?
Keep it covered and refrigerated, and use it within two to three days. Rice or tiger-nut solids settle, so shake or stir the drink before pouring.
What do you serve with horchata?
Serve it very cold with pastries or biscuits; Spanish tiger-nut horchata is often paired with fartons, long, sweet pastries for dipping. Rice horchata also goes well with spicy foods, as a cooling drink.
Can you use something other than rice to make horchata?
For a Mexican-style version, some recipes use almonds, oats or melon seeds instead of rice; soak and blend them, then strain for a smooth drink. These make different drinks rather than traditional Spanish tiger-nut horchata.
Is horchata the same as almond milk?
No. Horchata usually refers to a sweet, spiced drink made from rice or tiger nuts, while almond milk is made from almonds. Some bottled drinks use the name horchata for other recipes, so the ingredients can differ.
