OmGOODNESS!! This drink is the bomb! ! I can’t drink the original version of this drink due to the HIGH sugar content and this recipe just sums it up. I substituted the agave with stevia and used brown rice instead of white, it was so good. Thanks for a much healthier version!
My blender doesn’t have the whole juice button what settings do I choose?
Blend on a Medium to Medium-High speed for 50-60 seconds. For other blend cycle conversions, check this out: http://www.blendtec.com/blo… Happy blending!
I made this and didn’t like how gritty it turned out. I tried pouring it through cheesecloth, but it is so thick I ended up with hardly any horchata. Help!
There are a few things that can be done to get a thinner, less gritty consistency.
1. Soak the almonds for longer than 3 hours up to 5 hours.
2. Add more than 1 cup of water, up to 2 cups.
3. Blend the soaked almonds, rice, and water twice before adding the other ingredients for the final blend.
