This is not your traditional horchata recipe by any means. Our family was craving horchata so I searched this site for recipes but they were all so labor intensive. I was inspired to create an easy version and I think I succeeded. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! It's like heaven in a glass - so sweet and creamy that it could even be served as a dessert! This is more of a Spanish version with the almond flavoring. K

Directions

  • Mix rice milk, almond milk, and condensed milk together in a gallon jug. Add vanilla and almond extracts and mix again. Pour about 2 cups into a bowl; add cinnamon and whisk well until mostly combined.

  • Pour cinnamon mixture back into the jug and stir to combine. Add cinnamon sticks and refrigerate for at least 4 hours; overnight is best. Stir before serving over ice.

Cook's Notes:

For those with nut allergies, eliminate the almond milk and almond extract; double the rice milk and vanilla extract.

This stores well in the refrigerator and gets even better as it sits.

After making traditional horchata and not loving the time consuming technique but loving the result I tried this recipe. I couldn't tell any difference between this and the ground rice and almonds version! The only thing I did differently was two cinnamon sticks instead of five and I omitted the almond extract. It was absolutely perfect! I'll definitely stick to this goodbye blender! Read More

This is the first time I made this. I did find the ground cinnamon to be a little too much for my liking but it is very refreshing and sweet on a hot day. Very easy to make. I didn’t have any almond extract on hand and I only had 3 cinnamon sticks left but it still tasted great. I will make this again with maybe half of ground cinnamon. Maybe I will try it with almond extract next time. Read More

I made this for a big Mexican Fiesta. I was a hit! Everyone loved it and asked for the recipe. It was simple and so good. I did not add the Almond extract but I followed the rest of the recipe. I also quadrupled the recipe. I made it 24 hours ahead of time. Read More

I grew up drinking Horchata and this to me is nothing like it should be. It has a somewhat artificial taste to it. I'm not sure what caused that since I like all of the ingredients in this recipe. To me the combination of them together in this recipe just does not work. Read More
