Kitchen alchemy: horchata

Made from scratch horchata.

The hardest part was straining it.

At first I thought I could use my cheese making muslin sack but that didn’t work too well. I ended up using a mesh tea strainer over a mason jar and a spoon. Laborious but what else am I going to do with a Friday in plague times?

Now to make little biscotti from the rice and almond paste. Later. When it’s cooler. and i have the energy to invent a recipe.

In the meantime a portrait. After horchata. Elixir of goddesses.
