    Awesome

    ImAFood from

    I've been looking for the perfect horchata recipe, and I've found it!!!! PLEASE halve the amount of condensed milk, or it will be too sweet...I made that mistake, so I doubled everything else instead. This tastes just like the horchata at the restaurants!

    So good!

    This recipe makes some really yummy tasting horchata. Based on Carmella's Mom's review, I halved the sweetened condensed milk, and I think the sweetness level was just right. Making horchata was easier than I thought with the help of this recipe, and this homemade horchata tastes ten times better than those instant mixes!

    Perfectly Lovely

    Carmella's Mom from Dallas

    Yes! Finally I can make Horchata...this recipe is fabulous...the only thing I did different is I double all the ingredients except the sweetened condensed milk..otherwise it would be too sweet for my families taste. I also added 1 tsp of good vanilla. This is excellent! Gracias.
