Instructions
Horchata powder
- Roast all the ingredients separately, taking care not to burn the rice.
- The roasting time is different from one ingredient to another and can be done in an oven, in a pan or on a hot griddle.
- Mix all the ingredients together in a food processor until obtaining a fine powder.
- It is important to mix them dry (without adding water), as the powder for the horchata can be kept to prepare the drink later and it will last longer, because all the ingredients will maintain their natural moisture.
- It is also recommended to keep the ground mixture in an airtight container which will keep the aroma longer.
