Oatmeal Horchata(Mexican Drink)
Oatmeal Horchata drink is a yummy drink and its mexican bevarage. I love the traditional horchata... its made using rice but oats has a nice punch to it too. I tried this first time in a carnival happened near by house and they served lots of traditional street drink of Mexico. Most of them I have tried before but this one was so different and if you are my regular reader you would know how crazy I go for a good beverage. This was served with lots of ice cubes and I loved it. Wanted to try it immediately and VOILA it came out perfect. Only change I gave was vanilla Essence...they didn't add them but I did cuz cinnamon and vanilla essence go so well together. Its super refreshing drink. Important point to remember while making this drink LOTS OF ICE...I MEAN IT LOTSSSS OF ICE....
