What is the water to rice ratio for horchata?

For a 5-gallon batch, soak about 11 cups (or 5 pounds) of rice in 3.5 gallons of water. The remaining liquid comes from added milk and finishing water.

Why is it called Dirty Horchata?

The dark espresso “dirties” the otherwise white horchata, creating a beautiful contrast and bold flavor twist.

How to make horchata more creamy?

Use a mix of evaporated milk, condensed milk, and plant-based milks. Let your rice soak longer, blend well, and strain thoroughly for a smooth finish.

How long will homemade horchata last?

It will stay fresh in the fridge for up to five days if stored in clean, sealed containers. Stir well before each pour and avoid leaving it out for long periods.
