|:I've been given a recipe for Horchata, and mixed it, tried it, and liked it!
|:If you have recipes for it, I'd like to see the variety that there is for
|:this delightful drink. First place I ever tried it was a wonderful Mexican
|:restaurant across the street from the Goodwill Store; it's on Broad street in
|:San Louis Obispo. It was a 'refills for free' deal, and to tell the truth, I
|:nearly drained the tankard that this ambrosia was being housed in. Sorry for
|:digressing there a bit, but the recipe given me calls for:

|:1 cup uncooked rice 4 1/2 cups warm water 3/4 cup sugar (or to taste) 1
|:teaspoon vanilla You place the rice in a large bowl, pour in water, allow to
|:soak 6 hrs. or overnight, pour in a blender, process until smooth. Strain
|:mixture in through fine sieve, return to blender, process again, strain
|:mixture into pitcher through clean dampened dish towel or rinsed cheesecloth.
|:Rinse blender and return mixture to it. Add sugar and vanilla; process until
|:combined. Return to pitcher. Chill Serve over cracked ice. As stated before,
|:this is very good, BUT what uses could the 'shredded' rice be put to? Also,
|:I've tried the dampened towel 'bit', and it leaves a mess. Any suggestions to
|:make this better/easier/tastier(if possible). Thanks again in advance, D.L.V.

I've use this recipe yesterday and it was delicious! Except I added just a
little bit of cinnamon with the sugar and vanilla.

I used cheesecloth instead of a towel, and it woreked great!
