| horchata |
Horchata is a delicious, ethereal beverage that I first experienced in a small Mexican cafe in downtown Los Angeles with my dad and sister. My sister and I were resistant to milk drinking but this beverage was different, it was the best tasting milk we'd ever tried. Years later I learned that horchata is traditionally made with tiger nuts... some type of tree nut however I have found recipes calling for rice instead of tiger nuts. I will definitely try to recreate one fine L.A memory and make my own batch of warm, spiced horchata soon.
I see similarities between the tiger nut and the peanut since they both grow underground... and because the tiger nut is more of a "sedge", it may be similar to rice as well... stay tuned!
