Horchata is made of chufas and in my country, Spain, is sold as a
sweet summer refresh. Chufas are not on sale.

I googled "Horchata recipes" and got a load of them. This
looked basic:


Horchata (Rice Cooler)
Yield: 1 quart

1 c Uncooked rice
4 1/2 c Warm water
3/4 c Sugar
1 ts Vanilla extract


Place rice in a large bowl. Pour warm water over rice. Set aside and
soak six hours or overnight.

Pour into blender jar; process until smooth. Strain mixture through a
fine mesh sieve. Return to blender, process again. Strain mixture into
pitcher through a clean dampened
dish towel or cheese cloth. Rinse blender, return mixture to blender;
add sugar and vanilla. Process until combined. Refrigerate until
chilled. Serve over cracked ice.

Variations:
Chocolate -- Add 2 ounces grated Mexican chocolate to rice. Continue
as directed above.

Strawberry -- Prepare as directed above, adding 1 package (10 ounces)
frozen strawberries with the sugar and vanilla. Continue as directed.

Cinnamon -- Add 2 (4-inch) cinnamon sticks to rice. After soaking
remove cinnamon sticks and discard. Continue as directed above.
