Taste just like the Horchata in my favorite Mexican resturant - but better because I can make it myself and have it whenever I want. When I first read the directions was worried it would be confusing - but once I started it was a piece of cake. Thanks so much for posting.

I learned how to cook since I was young helping my dear Mom in the kitchen.
Also like to combine ideas or ingredients from different recipes to create some of my own, so my dear husband and my family enjoy what I cook.
