I found your recipe while searching for a way to use the left over pulp! I wondered about using it in Fiands as a substitute to almond meal and rice flour, but decided not to do that as the rice was still grainy. I ended up cooking the pulp with milk and a small amount of sugar to make a rice pudding as the rice thickened the mixture. Not fancy at all but tasty enough and no wastage!

Sorry to hear that! Unfortunately this was an older post and I don’t have control over outside links staying current.

You can either buy pre-blanched almonds or blanch your own. Just pour 1 ¼ cup whole almonds into a bowl and pour boiling water over them. Let the almonds sit for a minute, then drain them in a colander and rinse with cold water. Use your hands to slide the skins off and proceed with the recipe as directed.

I haven’t made this drink yet because I just discovered your blog and I’m excited to try some of your recipes. But, I wanted to share with you of the best horchata I drank in Mexico from a street vendor after a series of wrong turns on the outskirts of Oaxaca City. It had little chunks of fresh cataloupe and flaky almonds! The combination of horchata and cantaloupe was incredible. I mean, this was one of those finds when traveling that leaves you remembering for the rest of your life. I will try your horchata sometime. I really also enjoyed your reader’s comments below, especially those who shared a personal experience with horchata – I never knew it had so much history. Thanks!

A bit too sweet for me so next time I will use less agave. I wonder if you have a solution for the grittiness after making? I used a Vitamix blender to prepare and strained through a nut milk bag but found the Horchata a bit gritty.

★★★★★

Yes, you do! It should be soft enough at that point.
