horchata
Cinnamoned rice drink
Horchata is a sweet, creamy beverage popular in Spanish-speaking countries.
The Mexican version is made from rice, cinnamon, and sugar; the Spanish original uses tiger nuts.
Served cold, it's a common refreshment at taquerias and street vendors: I'll have a horchata with my tacos.
