Horchata
Recipe by Tallboy Taco
Ready for the secret to Tallboy Taco’s Horchata recipe? Sushi rice! This is what gives it the perfect creamy texture. Unlike the more common long-grain rice, sushi rice has a higher starch content, which when soaked and blended, results in a smoother, richer drink. This twist not only elevates the drink’s creaminess but also introduces a delicate sweetness that complements the cinnamon and condensed milk.
