Agua de horchata is a traditional Mexican beverage made primarily from rice, almonds, cinnamon, and sugar. The rice is soaked, blended, and strained to create a creamy, sweet drink with a refreshing flavor. Often served chilled, it’s a popular choice at parties, celebrations, and alongside meals, offering a delightful balance of sweetness and spice. Variations may include additional ingredients like vanilla or cocoa, making it a versatile and beloved treat. Here our twist:
