- For the rice beverage, use one that is cold or at room temperature for best results.
- When selecting almond meal, make sure it is finely ground for a smoother texture.
- Substitute almond meal for hazelnut meal - The benefit of this substitution is that hazelnut meal has a slightly nuttier flavor than almond meal. This could provide a more complex flavor to the horchata.
- Substitute sweetened condensed milk for coconut cream - The benefit of this substitution is that coconut cream adds a creamy texture to the horchata, while also providing a hint of coconut flavor. This could add a unique twist to the traditional recipe.
Coconut Horchata Replace the almond meal with 3 tablespoons of shredded coconut and replace the rice beverage with coconut milk.
