Horchata cappuccino
Truth: my absolute favorite thing at a Mexican restaurant is the HORCHATA. (But it has to be good–not overly sweet or grainy.) This homemade recipe is just 6 simple ingredients you probably already have on hand and it’s the real deal! Perfect for Cinco de Mayo!

Horchatas are one of my favorite drinks to get here in LA. It’s a Mexican drink traditionally made with rice milk and cinnamon, usually served on ice. I always get mine with a shot of espresso because that’s how I like to live my life. Ask your barista to make you a hot cappuccino with rice or almond milk with cinnamon and maple syrup, if they have it on hand.
TO MAKE: Steam 1 cup milk of your choice by letting it simmer (not boil) in saucepan over medium heat. Whip milk with electric mixer until frothy. Brew 2 tbsp worth of ground coffee. Make the cappuccino by combining parts 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 foam ” then horchata-ify it by adding 1 tsp maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
