Horchata is very popular all througtout Mexico and is part of what I like to call the Aguas Frescas trinity along with Agua de Jamaica (Hibiscus Flower Tea) and Agua de Tamarindo.
Horchata is a creamy, rice based beverage that can be served at breakfast, lunch or dinner. My Hubby and kiddies love it so much that I have to make it a couple of times a week.
