Horchata Coffee is the combination of the two best things: horchata and coffee. Think of this coffee horchata recipe like cold brew. Coffee grounds are steeped with almonds, rice and brown sugar, blended and then strained to make the most delicious drink to start your day with.
For this recipe, we blend rice water, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon. The result is a sweet, wonderfully spicy horchata that tastes like chai. The rice gives it body, and the milk keeps it smooth and creamy.
Stopping in for a quick Saturday co*cktail to share this (extra) Dirty Horchata. Homemade Horchata, a sweet cinnamon drink popular throughout Latin America, is topped off with coffee and a splash of dark rum (or Kahlúa).
It's one of the more well-known non-dairy options around! It's basically rice milk so it's something easily done at home. Paired with coffee, and you get what is called a Dirty Horchata (it's called 'dirty' because of the coffee color!)
Horchata has long been enjoyed for its health benefits, both perceived and real. Generally speaking, horchata is low in fat and rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants are great for your skin and hair and can help to reduce inflammation in the body.
The drink originated in North Africa, and it is estimated that during the 11th century, it began to spread throughout Hispania (now Spain and Portugal). There are 13th-century records of a horchata-like beverage made near Valencia, where it remains a common drink.
Horchata will make your skin look healthier because of the high levels of antioxidants in this tasty drink. Drinking horchata every day may help reduce inflammation in the body which could lead to chronic diseases such as diabetes or heart disease.
While Mexican-style horchata is the most commonly known variety in the US, horchata actually originated in Spain, and there are various types of horchatas throughout the Spanish-speaking world. Horchata was born in the region of Valencia in Southern Spain.
The horchata that people drink in Latin America is a derivative of Spanish horchata called horchata de chufa, which isn't made with a nut or a grain but with nutlike tubers called chufas, or tigernuts. This drink originated in North Africa and was taken to Spain by the Moors in the eighth century.
Some are more watery, while others are creamier from being mixed with milk. Some are made with toasted rice, while others are made with soaked rice, and some are combined with other nuts, grains, or fresh fruits.
A traditional horchata is a chilled Latin beverage based on almond-rice milk flavored with cinnamon; the McDonald's version is a creamy blended ice drink made with coffee, cinnamon and vanilla, then topped with whipped cream and a caramel drizzle.
"This is a refreshing drink from Mexico that is very similar to horchata but healthier and easier to make! Serve cold," says recipe creator Becky Perez.
Traditionally, horchata does not contain dairy products. RumChata is made from a blend of five-time distilled Caribbean rum and Wisconsin dairy cream. It is flavored with cinnamon, vanilla, and other "secret flavors" (both natural and artificial).
Horchata has long been enjoyed for its health benefits, both perceived and real. Generally speaking, horchata is low in fat and rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants are great for your skin and hair and can help to reduce inflammation in the body.
The beverage's ingredients such as rice and cinnamon, are believed to have anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe the stomach, aid in digestion, and aid in other inflammatory conditions.
In Mexico, coffee is often brewed with cinnamon and sugar. The cinnamon and sugar aren't merely added to the coffee after brewing, but they're incorporated right into the brewing technique. The result is a coffee that's at the same time sweet and spicy.
