El Union-Inspired Classic Horchata

Horchata is a sweet Mexican rice-based drink that's gained popularity through local coffee shops, such as El Union Coffee in San Juan, La Union. This recipe gives you the building blocks to make your own horchata. Experiment with different types of rice, nuts, and sweeteners. Do it like El Union and dirty it up with a shot of espresso. Or keep it simple and enjoy it over ice, next to a plate of spicy tacos.
