Coconut-Mango Horchata
Horchata is a special Mexican milk beverage that’s made typically with a combination pulverized rice and nut milk, steeped in delicate spices. This version, by Nissa Pierson, which happens to be vegan uses coconut milk and yields an incredibly rich drink that’s silky and sultry. The sultry is accomplished in two-fold, one by adding rose tea to the rice steeping step and two by adding perfumy mangoes during the blending phase.
A dusting of an exotic Mexican Graham Masala on top finalizes this special horchata, which she also turns into an amazing cocktail. Mexican Masala Indira Horchata
