About Agua de horchata

Agua de Horchata is a traditional Mexican beverage made from rice, water, cinnamon, and sugar, often enriched with vanilla or milk for added creaminess. Its roots trace back to Spanish cuisine, where a similar drink using tiger nuts originated, later merging with Mexican flavors and ingredients. Refreshingly sweet and aromatic, Agua de Horchata is a popular choice for cooling off in warm weather. While it offers hydration and small amounts of calcium if milk is included, it is typically high in sugar, which may be a consideration for those watching their intake. Variations using plant-based milk or natural sweeteners can enhance its nutritional profile. Rich in cultural heritage, this comforting drink pairs beautifully with spicy dishes but should be enjoyed in moderation as a treat rather than a health-focused beverage.
