Paleo Horchata Drink

When I was pregnant with The Little, I went through a phase when I craved Horchata like a, well, pregnant woman.  At the time, I made it using raw milk and would drink a pint every day and then it started giving me crazy heartburn and I moved on to another food obsession.

Yesterday, during our Mother’s Day brunch, I was staring at the Little with a little bit of awe from what my body was able to help create and I remembered my Horchata binge drinking days and thought it was time to have another glass. This Paleo Horchata recipe is so simple! I even drink it hot out of the pan.

  • 1/2 teaspoon B grade maple syrup, optional
  • 2 cups of boiling water

Instructions

  1. In your blender, add the coconut shreds, cinnamon powder, salt and maple syrup. Lastly add in your boiling water and blend for 1 minutes (in Blendtec on the soup setting) or 3 -4 minutes in a normal blender.

  1. Interesting. I need to try it. It’s past time for me to clean up my diet and change my eating habits. This looks very doable. 🙂

  2. This tastes fantastic! I think I’ll be serving it warm next time because the fat started to congeal after I cooled it with ice cubes which resulted in an unpleasant texture.

    Thanks for this, though!

  3. I love (d) horchata, so I very much appreciate this adaptation. I added a shot of vanilla rum to one serving over ice, and this made a delicious cocktail. Thanks so much for the recipe.

      1. I also wanted to add that I saved the coconut that was strained out, and I later added it to a fruit salad I made for my daughter- just stirred it right in with some strawberries, banana, pear, etc. It was delicious!

  4. I adore horchata!!!! Can’t wait to try this – thanks for posting! Coconut shreds… The same as shredded coconut??

      1. I love this horchata! So good! This may be a very silly question, but what kind of drinking glasses are those in your picture of the horchata? They are adorable, but I can’t find them anywhere.
