LOVE! DO WANT!

12/14/2010 1:14:22 PM

I have never had this. When you mentioned it in the Chubby's thread it made me want to try it though. Obviously I need to go to Chubby's soon.

12/14/2010 1:15:20 PM

My favorite drink.

Hacienda Ristorate has pretty good horchata but not as good as chubbys

I'm drinking some from Chubby's right now

Chubby's is so delicioso because they make it from scratch not from a mix. Every other place I've tried around here it has that fake cinnamon flavor.

"Horchata (English pronunciation: /?r't???t?/; Spanish: [or't?ata]) or orxata (Valencian: [o?'t?ata]) is the name of several kinds of traditional beverage, made of ground almonds, sesame seeds, rice, barley, or tigernuts (chufas)."

Quote :

"United States In the U.S., rice-based or morro horchata is served in many Mexican restaurants, and the horchata de chufas (tigernut) is virtually unknown. Rice-based horchata is also sometimes available in U.S. grocery and convenience stores, especially in Hispanic neighborhoods. In early 2011, the first shelf-stable, ready-to-drink 15 oz canned horchata is coming to these venues under the brand name "Madrinas Horchata".[citation needed] Some Hispanic bars in Southern California use horchata as a mixer in a cocktail known as a "Rice Rocket". The drink is made of two parts horchata, one part coconut-flavored rum, and a dash of Goldschläger over ice."

I may have to try making a rice rocket.

12/14/2010 1:26:59 PM

That sounds terrible.

12/14/2010 1:27:14 PM

real orxata is made from chufa

12/14/2010 1:28:22 PM

If you're from Spain

12/14/2010 1:34:32 PM

i've got some rice sitting right now for a horchata latté tomorrow morning

coincidence

12/14/2010 1:39:47 PM

had a few glasses when i was in Valencia. quite tasty

12/14/2010 1:39:55 PM

^^ I don't know if that sounds good or not. I'm not sure about the coffee mixing with the chai-esque taste of the horchata.

12/14/2010 1:43:34 PM

Made a horchata white russian type drink when I was working at mexican-ish bar years ago. Was quite tasty.

12/14/2010 1:43:45 PM

^^ Try a dirty chai. They are great.

12/14/2010 1:59:19 PM

wat?


interesting

12/14/2010 2:06:05 PM

do what now

you should try it...if you like sweet lattés (which i do), it's great

that said, when i make horchata for a latte, i don't use almonds...not because i don't like it that way, but because i rarely have almonds just sitting around in the house and while it provides another flavor in the latte, i don't really like it any better than without

[Edited on December 14, 2010 at 3:00 PM. Reason : i also skip the sugar and just use a splenda/stevia packet per cup]

12/14/2010 2:58:47 PM

I tend to drink coffee black though sometimes I'm in the mood for something sweet.

what does horchata have to do with almonds? i thought they used tigernuts?

Upon investigation it looks like dirty mexicans use RICE, and spanish use tigernuts - but dont see anything about almonds

12/14/2010 5:59:03 PM

if you're gonna use almonds, you may as well just buy vanilla almond milk

12/14/2010 6:46:24 PM

chufa is like crack for wild turkeys

"In Spain, it usually refers to orxata de xufa (horchata de chufa), made from tigernuts, water, and sugar. Originally from Valencia, the idea of making horchata from tigernuts comes from the period of Muslim presence in Valencia (from the 8th to 13th century)."

go eat your mexican rice and almond horchata, ill stick with the original

I don't even know what the hell a tigernut is! Thanks to this thread, I have learnt something new and have to wait till the summer to find this mythical drink

(going to Italy and/or Spain in the summer... I wonder if they will have it in Italy, in a Spanish restaurant... if Spanish restaurants exist in Italy!)

Thanks TWW! (primarily wolfpackgrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)

12/15/2010 7:46:51 PM

it's a ski mask

12/15/2010 11:16:25 PM

Drinking one right now

1/19/2011 1:15:59 PM

Never had it, but I like the song.

1/19/2011 1:16:56 PM

had this when I was in California. It was great - tasted like a cinnamon bun in a glass of milk or something.
