This wonderful ethnic drink,is a combination of rice,water,milk,sugar,cinamon and vanilla. While at a Mexican restaurant yesterday we had a huge taco salad and this this delicious drink called a HORCHATA. This was a first for me...tasting this wonderful ice cold beverage. Served with a dipper from a huge glass bowl loaded with ice cubes. I fell in love! So naturally I asked the waitress for the recipe.She obliged by writing it out on a napkin. Here is her simple version that I re-created today for you to enjoy. Nancy...1/27/13
