Horchata is a classic Mexican beverage, but it can be quite sweet. It is easy to overindulge because the flavor is rich and the cinnamon is powerful. We want you to be able to enjoy drinks like horchata guilt-free, which is why we made this raw rendition. You may need to add a little more maple syrup, depending on how you enjoy your level of sweetness.
