Horchata ranks highly in my kitchen and around the world. This refreshing sweet creamy drink has won many hearts. As for me, I grew up enjoying this beverage because It was everywhere! At the local market, restaurants, taquerias and most importantly at a place I call home. There are so many variations and flavors. In fact, tents where actually set up to sell agua frescas. Horchata continues to gain popularity and its refreshing qualities captivate new generations.

Hi Rosanna! This Horchata is absolutely delicious. I’ve made it a couple of times and in the process of making it again now. I’m blessed to have found your YouTube channel. Every recipe I’ve tried been wonderful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family story and amazing recipes. And Nelson is great as well. You two make an awesome team and your content is such a pleasure to watch. 😊🌼💞🌸
Thank you so much Barbie! You are enjoying one of the most satisfying drinks out there!☺️ So glad you found us!
Rosanna I am so happy I found you. I’ve made several of your salsas. They are beyond amazing. I live in California and am fortunate to have wonderful Mexican food all around us. But it’s so satisfying to be able to make my own. Can’t wait for the next video! Blessings to you and Nelson.
