The Ancient Roots of Horchata
Originating from Spanish 'horchata de chufa' made with tiger nuts, the recipe transformed in Mexico using local rice, Mexican canela cinnamon, and vanilla.
Why Cinnamon Rice Milk Cools Spicy Food
The starches in rice milk and the sweetness of vanilla coat the palate, neutralizing capsaicin heat from serrano and jalapeño chiles.
