GiantRobotUppercut He literally added 2/3 cups sugar. Thats 1.57 tablespoons per cup of drink. So in a standard 12oz serving, thats 2.3 tablespoons or 7 teaspoons of sugar. A healthy diet is only supposed to include 9 teaspoons of added sugar for a male. 6 for females. Diabetic cascade is right lol
Chef, mexican here! You can also soak the rice and almonds in hot water overnight. It will work better and blend even easier. Results are breathtaking.

THANK YOU for not adding milk!!!! Since I've been little, I've always had issues with milk. My Aunt would make Horchata for me so I wouldn't feel left out during lunch. I have tried to find a Mexican recipe WITHOUT milk and it's almost impossible. Thank you for sharing this! 🙏
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I WAS TOO HIGH TO PUT IT IN WORDS OH MY GODDDD
I want to try the mexican version. The salvadorean version is made with the seeds of a fruit called "morro" or "jicaro", it's nutty and sweet It's blended with sesame seed, peanuts, cinnamon and sugar. I hope you taste it some day chef John!
I don't see what many of the Mexicans in the comments are complaining about this is a very good agua de arroz/horchata recipe and very authentic, seems to me a lot of people forget that there are different variations of the same thing all over Mexico BTW I'm Mexican lived my whole life in Mexico and I like this recipe and love chef John for all the Mexican recipes he puts out always makes me proud
I'm glad you mentioned that agua fresca is different, I tried googling the difference between regular horchata and horchata de agua fresca and I didn't find an answer, thank you!
Even tho I'm trying to become vegan for health concerns, I don't think I could ever unsub from you, Chef John. My freakishly tiny wooden spoon having self would be ashamed :P
Horchata typically has milk (I'm Mexican). I'd really recommend adding the milk. It's like adding milk to tea! Sure tea is good, but milk tea is da bomb.
Horchata is my all time favorite drink and I've made it from scratch and it takes way longer than this. And I've only ever used a sifter to strain out the grit and I had to do it 4 times and it STILL had a lot of gunk left on the bottom. And I've always thought that I needed cheese cloth but I have no where to get it. Super glad you made this fast, easy way. Now all I need to do is find cheese cloth
I'm heading down to Mexico in 2 weeks. Happily, they have horchata at the hotel where I am going. You should show a bunch of Mexican drink recipes, including jamaica (pronounced "ha-my-ica"), which is hibiscus tea. Really refreshing drink.
Chef john, small thing to add. When you use the almonds, a lot of almond milk recipes call for soaking the almonds for at least eight hours in water with a pinch of salt to soften them. Makes them easier to blend up. after using the nut milk bag, you can also use a mesh strainer and strain a second time.
Chef John I have always wonder why I love your videos sooo much. I mean there other chefs who do the same thing. I think that aside of the good food you share it's your voice, sooo soothing!
I let the rice by itself soak over night then in a blender I pour the rice with the water in,add cinnamon,vanilla extract,and a Mexican chocolate called Chocolate Abuelita, after thats blended I strain it and all sweetened condensed milk,regular milk,and sugar. Tastes delicious 👌🏻
I have made Horchata before but it was from a recipe that was a lot harder. I love Horchata and I am going to make your recipe soon. It is soooo much quicker and easier. Thanks!
i riffed and did 1 cup oats instead of rice just to see what would happen and it came out with a much heavier ~mouthfeel~ and creamier than other horchata i’ve had. it ain’t traditional but it worked out really nice
Paint Strainer bags are cheaper than the nut milk ones, and easier to get for many people as they are sold at any hardware store. We're excited to try this!
Hey chef john! I don't know if you read the comments but I have a trick for skipping the nut milk bag! if you use RAW almond butter instead of raw almonds you dont need to strain and you keep all the nutrients with no by products left. Tip #2 you can use any raw nuts to make beverage as long as they are raw.
Boiling the almonds (or blending them and adding boiling water to them/cooking the blended almonds) should be fine for the taste. it shouldnt change anything dramatically. You could also experiment with other nuts, although it would change the flavour a bit, of course.
Doesn't seem like he did since his grains were dry and not stuck together. Plus, washing it would remove some of its starch, which is essentially why there is rice in the first place.
Ollie Peters with that logic, can i then just wash my rice and add some sort of cornstarch or a nut starch? I don't know why but i just prefer washing my rice then just using it out of the bag.
Boxs I honestly am not qualified enough with cornstarch and/or nutstarch to give you a proper answer! I never wash my rice, even though I've been told I should when only preparing rice (removes excess starch and cleans the rice). I would just trust Chef and follow his recipe ;) or you can always try it out yourself, I am sure if you don't put TOO much starch it won't ruin the recipe! Remember, nothing wrong with tinkering recipes!
Rob F the drink originated in Egypt. Also, the Spanish one is too simple. The Latin American one is much more delicious and doesn't taste watered down.
Hey ,its Barry! I know how really make it under 4 mins,here is how? 1.)Go to Mexican restaurant ,when they ask what drink you want,Ask for this drink! (Other option) 2.)Buy Klass or Powder mix from the food market!
The tone of his voice is kinda fucked. Like as he talks he kinda goes up a little then down. Everytime he stops he sounded like he didnt finish his thought.
great stuff! for smoother texture without having to use a high power blender.... soak and drain the nuts and rice and then freeze them first. boil half the water, add the nuts to the blender and then the boiling water and blend on high (the water that soaked into the nuts and rice will have swelled as it freezes and adding the boiling water will shatter nuts and rice much finer than the blender can), then add the rest of the water. i do that so i don't have to strain my nut milk (comes out much creamier).
Just put everything into a mason jar to marinate over night. Used ground cinnamon instead and was only able to fit 3 cups of water in. I'll keep ya'll updated. Update1: Just found out I can make a rice pudding with the left over rice "powder". Uddate2: Finished it out and it's great. It's refreshing just like he said, not to sweet, and tastes like an excellent lite sweet rice/almond milk. I think I'm going to make the left over rice powder (from straining) into rice pudding.

"A little touch of sugar" followed by a diabetic cascade. Never change, Chef John.
ikr .... ;-)) Whoa!
GiantRobotUppercut LOL my thoughts exactly. Decided to look for a comment like mine before posting.
Yeah, he REALLY likes his sugar. I made CJ's rice pudding a few months ago. Couldn't finish it. Wow it was far too
sweet!

DIABETIC CASCADE xD

I think he said he's going to go into that on the Blog, but that this is just the "quick version."
Suzanne Baruch Really? I must have missed it. Thank you.
Desde cuándo lleva almendras la horchata?!
Es para los que quieren gastar más en almendras xD
guillermo kelly Es otra "bebida" que se hace en algunos países. No es nuestra horchata, q solo es de Chufa, claro. Son cosas diferentes q comparten el nombre
He talks like a rollercoaster... Up and down up and down
& I hate ITT
It's driving me nuts. It sound like an starting then stalling immediately.
"Versus the Spanish version, which apparently uses Tiger nuts -- which to me sounds really dangerous." 😂😂😂😂😂
Suzanne Baruch love his sense of humor!
I know, Chef John is quite a character. Check out his Twitter account, he's even funnier there!
No chufa is more delicious!! Chef should try it!!
He should tag his twitter account on his videos
Suzanne Baruch zing
My Cuban neighbor introduced me to horchata. I'm forever grateful!
Perfecto!!!! The original Horchata does not have evaporated or condense milk🙌 this is how you make it!!! Bravoooo
You don't need to lie. It's not cinnamon your garnishing it with. It's cayenne.

ignore the haters. love your voice narration humor all of it! you're a treasure!
So, for the lazy among us: carton of rice milk, carton of almond milk, sugar, cinnamon extract. Cool.
ginsengaddict DON'T FORGET THE BOOZE! ! !
ginsengaddict I actually might try this method.
ginsengaddict haha so true i might try this instead that way it can make heaps more to serve others and save some for later :)
Don't forget " a touch of sugar"... as in add 30% by volume more...
They sell it in powder or the drink itself.
why does it sound like someone is turning the volume up and down quickly before and after you talk.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I WAS TOO HIGH TO PUT IT IN WORDS OH MY GODDDD
I’m guessing he is using compression on his voice

It's called an inflection. It's quite intentional, and popular among his fans.
Robert Pruitt it sounds really dumb and is hard to get through his video

He has 2.7 million followers that like the way he talks.
How many do you have?
If it works, it works.
I'm from Indonesia and I've tried horchata with milk recipe and I really love it!!! next I think I'll try this recipe in later time 😄
So Chef John, I hear you are going to make a video with Binging with Babish!
If they get the money right.
Food Wishes please oh please!!!! If you guys could do like a bi-weekly collab omg id love you!!... More than i already do.
Bigger match up than Mayweather vs. McGregor.
Well, they do have a lot in common: preparing food, excellent speaking voices, both their faces not appearing on camera! 🤣🤣🤣
Get hype!
Been so waiting for this. Nieces and nephews keep getting the powder drink from stores. Now i can blow their minds with the real deal.
I want to try the mexican version. The salvadorean version is made with the seeds of a fruit called "morro" or "jicaro", it's nutty and sweet

I'm "late" and I'm craving pickles and ice cream ..
FINALLY Chef John does horchata!
Thanks, dad!
Oh god bless you Chef John, I've been wanting to make horchata for ages.
Damn chef john is trending

Congratulations on trending chef John!
i love making horchata. been making it for years! Glad you enjoy it too!
Definitely going to try this... maybe mix it with a few shots of white rum..
KingOrin94 Try some spiced rum instead... ;)
That 'touch' of sugar was brilliant! I'm trying this out later today, after soaking the rice and almonds in hot water for a few hours.
Chef John do you activate the almonds beforehand?
darkest1evil1, nope, they're too dangerous if activated too early!
darkest1evil1 activation will make them a powerful, sentient being. Use caution and be prepared to fight for your life
Wow. I cant wait to try this version. Sounds more refreshing than the way I make, which is with milk and water!!!
When did you upgrade to a Vitamix? :-D
I recognized it instantly 'cuz that's the model I rock at 'da house! ;-))
When he got that youtube money.
Amazing! Thanks, Chef John; my partner and I love your sense of humor, your recipes, and your teaching style. Keep it up!
I like Horchata, when it's nice and cold yeah.
I love horchata! Making this as soon as I have almonds.
You are the John Travolta of sipping your Horchata in Calcutta.
Horchata and spiced rum is an excellent summertime drink.
You voice is a high pitch rollercoaster!
i riffed and did 1 cup oats instead of rice just to see what would happen and it came out with a much heavier ~mouthfeel~ and creamier than other horchata i’ve had. it ain’t traditional but it worked out really nice
I love horchata de chufa. Make that next! 👨🍳👍😊
Oh my, I must try this. It's my favorite Spanish drink.
Only a touch of sugar. lol I love chef john
This is probably your funniest video. Never change, please.
I fucking love this shit its like heaven in a cup.
Love horchata especially at authentic Mexican joints where I live
You're trending Chef John! Way to go!
I love this stuff. It calms my stomach when I binge on Mexican food.
"...followed by a little touch of sugar"
Paint Strainer bags are cheaper than the nut milk ones, and easier to get for many people as they are sold at any hardware store. We're excited to try this!
you should do a video on Salvadoran Horchata next, puro morro!
Spanish orchata is soo good. You should try it. It tastes like nothing else. Best drink for the summer
This guy talks like Perd Hapley from Parks N Rec!
his voice makes me happy
Horse Cha Cha is delicious.

Nothing better than a California burrito and a big cup of horchata!

No, it will actually be better, since you can remove the skins.
Thank you. :)
I knew it was easy to make but not this easy. I'll try this out the next time I get some almonds. Thanks!
Did you know it's world plant milk day?! Perfect timing!
Of course! ::::clears throat::::::
Ahora ya puede poner su puesto de aguas frescas!! 😜 viva chef John
YEAH CHEF GIMMIE THEM VEGAN RECIPES HOMIE
awesome recipe, can't wait to replicate this and see how it taste
My mom is making this just to hate on it.
she still hated it
I loved your explanation through out this video 👍🏻
Did you wash your rice first ?
Doesn't seem like he did since his grains were dry and not stuck together. Plus, washing it would remove some of its starch, which is essentially why there is rice in the first place.

I read this at first as "Did you wash your face first?" I was like, what does Chef John's face-washing have to do about anything! :D
Most lovely drink I’ve ever had, made it a for Xmas a couple of years ago and gunna make it again this Xmas
"Little touch of sugar" and then he dump large quantity of it.
i wish i could meet you, i just random started watching your videos and now ur like my favorite youtuber
why does his voice get so high pitched before the last word
Thank you!!! This is on of my favorite drink of all time!
Who here makes horchata with Morro or chufa? I love ❤️ the Spanish/Portuguese version!
Chef Rafi's Awesome World what's in that version?
PaganVoodooGypsy chufa is a long dried root. I don't know why it's tiger nuts in English. Lots of sugar of course. 😊
Chef Rafi's Awesome World 🇸🇻 I drink a lot of versions omg 😲 still good 😊
En algunas partes del mundo es bastante difícil conseguir las chufas... :C

Oh this is THE best drink anytime!!
I'm making some for sure!!
Delicious ☺️👍💕💕💕💕
