How to make Horchata?

An important trick you must be aware of when preparing Horchata water is that you must have a well-refined strainer.

This way, you can prevent the rice portion from being part of the preparation and spoiling the result.

You can let the rice soak during the whole previous night before preparing the water. This way, the next day the rice will be softer.

And don’t forget to use pre-cooked rice.
