Iced Horchata Latte

Our new favorite hot weather coffee drink is a CBD tested and approved recipe from Bon Appetit: the iced horchata latte. Horchata is a creamy, sweet iced drink typically made with rice and nuts and flavored with cinnamon. We love it so much we developed an Horchata green tea (returning soon), which we drank all last summer over ice. This recipe combines ground coffee beans with traditional horchata ingredients for a drink that’s somewhere between horchata and cold brew. It’s delicious. We doubled the original quantities for better guzzling.

Ingredients 

• 1/2 cup brown rice
• 4 tablespoons coffee beans (we used Jamaican Blue Mountain Style)
• ½ cup raw almonds
• 1 cinnamon stick, crushed
• 8 cups water
• Pinch of kosher salt
• Simple syrup to taste

Instructions:

Using a coffee grinder, coarsely grind the brown rice, followed by the coffee beans. Place in a large bowl along with the almonds, cinnamon stick, and water. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until very smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a serving container. Serve immediately over ice, sweetening the latte to taste with simple syrup and salt. You can store the batch in the fridge for up to three days. Stir well before serving.
