Horchata

Cultural Context

Horchata, originating from Mexico, is a traditional beverage made from rice and flavored with cinnamon and vanilla. It's often enjoyed as a refreshing drink during warm weather and is a staple at many Mexican celebrations. Today, horchata has gained popularity beyond Mexico, with variations appearing in various Latin American countries and even in fusion recipes worldwide.
