They are one of the main drinks served at Mexican parties as well. Tamarindo, Jamaica and Horchatas are known to be "aguas frescas" and are best served cold. Personally, out of all three of them, horchatas are my favorite. Tamarindo and Jamaica are usually more tangy and have tastes of fruits. I enjoy each one, but I have always loved horchatas. They are fresh, cold, and have a very sweet taste. If you haven't tried on yet, next time you go to a Mexican restaurant or take out, I'd recommend you getting one!

Hortatas!
An horchata (or-chata) is a vanilla drink made with milk, water, and a bit of cinnamon. In Mexico, they are sometimes made with rice and vanilla and occasionally with cinnamon. It is sweet and has a very light texture, like water. Horchatas were originally home made, but now they are able to be bought at any Mexican restaurant and now they have powder to make your own mix.

This sounds really good! I like how you described the different names, and the way you describe it's taste makes me want to try some!
ReplyDeleteI like your post. I think that I have had something similar to this. This treat sounds very sugary though. I like how described it because I can almost taste it.
