Horchata

Horchata is a yummy, milky drink that comes from parts of Latin America and Spain! It's made from a few different things like rice, almonds, and cinnamon.

First, people take the rice and soak it in water for a while- then they grind it up into little pieces so it's easier to blend. Next, they mix in the almonds, sugar, and cinnamon to make it taste really good! Then they blend all of these things together until they are smooth and creamy.

Sometimes, different people like to add different things- like vanilla, condensed milk, or even coconut milk! The final result is a really tasty beverage that's very refreshing, especially on a hot day!
