Nancy J.'s Notes:

This wonderful ethnic drink,is a combination of rice,water,milk,sugar,cinamon and vanilla.
While at a Mexican restaurant yesterday we had a huge taco salad and this this delicious
drink called a HORCHATA. This was a first for me...tasting this wonderful ice cold beverage.
Served with a dipper from a huge glass bowl
loaded with ice cubes.
I fell in love! So naturally I asked the waitress for the recipe.She obliged by writing it out on a napkin.
Here is her simple version that I
re-created today for you to enjoy.

Hi in Spain Horchata is made from a seed that has nothing to do with rice. It is grown in the area of Valencia....It is a summer drink, that is very sweet and cooling. It must be real cold.

Horchata.......

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedi
This article is about the beverage.
Two large jars of aguas frescas in a taquería in Seattle, Washington, USA. On the left is a jar of Jamaica and on the right is a jar of horchata. Restaurant employees serve the drinks by ladling them from the jars into glasses.
A glass of horchata, Spain
Horchata (/ɔrˈtʃɑːtə/; Spanish: [oɾˈtʃata]) or orxata (Valencian: [oɾˈtʃata]) is the name of several kinds of traditional beverages, made of ground almonds, sesame seeds, rice, barley, or tigernuts (chufas).

The name comes from Valencian orxata, probably from ordiata, made from ordi (barley) (Latin *hordeata

Lisa, you should post the information about how to evaporate soy milk and other things that would help others who are lactose intolerant!!! Right now I am pinching Glucose Free recipes. There has been a couple of new members that are on glucose free diets and havin a little trouble with the converting of stuff. I can understand with cornbread having like 3 or 4 different flours in it and cornmeal. It's complicated.
