Hola Trina! No es muy dulce, todo depende de si le pones más o menos azúcar, lo puedes moldear a tu gusto.

Hola Silvia, Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! I am glad I’m helping give you motivation to cook and recreate these authentic Mexican meals in the States. I think you will enjoy the finale episode of my second season — it’s all vegetarian!

I love horchata, I have tried it with rice, almonds and tiger nuts from Spain. All are refreshing and so tasty.

Hola! Yes, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for the cinnamon stick.

Hola Crystal, Thank you so much for pre-ordering the book! I hope you like it. And no, it’s not necessary to pre-rinse the rice when making Horchata.

Hi Pati I love your show and website. I’m a big fan. I preorder two copies of your book, one for me and one to give away to someone unsuspecting.
I’m curious about rinsing the rice before adding the hot water for the horchata. Most recipes that use rice say to rinse the rice. I’ve heard that it is to remove the excess starch however my husband told me it is to remove any dirt or dust that is on the rice. Is this step necessary for the Horchata? I think that if I rinse the rice it might take away some of the flavor.
It looks clean to me and I’ve made this without rinsing and loved it.

I am really having a problem with my Horchata turning thick and almost slimy the next day. Help! What am I doing wrong?
