Ingredients You'll Need:
For the Horchata Base:
- 1 cup uncooked white rice
- 4 cups water
- 1 cinnamon stick
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 can of condensed milk
For the Beer:
- 6 bottles of light beer
- 1 lime
- Tajin seasoning (optional)
- Ice
To start, you'll need to make the horchata base. In a blender, combine the uncooked white rice and 4 cups of water. Blend until the rice is finely ground. Pour the mixture into a large pitcher and add in the cinnamon stick. Let it sit for at least an hour, or even overnight, to infuse the cinnamon flavor into the mixture.
Once the cinnamon flavor has developed, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean pitcher. Add in the sugar, vanilla extract, and condensed milk. Stir until well combined. This will be the base for your horchata beer.
To make the beer, start by rimming your glasses with Tajin seasoning. To do this, take a lime wedge and run it along the rim of the glass. Dip the rim into the Tajin seasoning until it is coated. Fill each glass with ice.
Next, pour the horchata base into each glass, filling it about halfway. Then, slowly pour the light beer of your choice over the horchata. Squeeze a lime wedge into each glass for added flavor.
For an extra touch, you can also top off the beer with a sprinkle of Tajin seasoning. This adds a hint of spice and a tangy kick to the drink.
And there you have it - a delicious and unique Mexican horchata beer. The creamy and sweet flavors of the horchata perfectly complement the crispness of the beer, creating a refreshing and satisfying drink. Serve it at your next fiesta or enjoy it on a hot summer day. Either way, this recipe is sure to impress your friends and family. Give it a try and see for yourself!
