It’s not December, but I’m drinking horchata…
Ever since Vampire Weekend’s last mega-awesome album, Contra, I’ve been wondering, What the hell IS horchata? (C’mon, admit that you have, too.) Well, during a trip to my local coffee shop, I noticed their chalkboard was wiped clean with fresh text reading, “Horchata - Cinnamon Oat drink with Agave - Hot or Cold.” Hells yeah, I thought, and ordered it up.
My taste buds thanked me that day. But I give credit to the dear sirs of Vampire Weekend, who opened the door to a tasty new beverage. I found a good recipe I think I’ll try. And I hear there’s even a canned version of the stuff coming to the US - the traditional Mexican recipe with rice, not oats. Not sure if they can contain such palatable pleasure in a can, but I’ll try anything once!
