Mexican Horchata is a simple recipe not only for Cinco de Mayo. I discovered Horchata a couple of years ago and immediately fell in love with it!
In this recipe, I combined the traditional horchata drink with aroz con leche, a similat yet different recipe as for the texture. It's made from rice and almonds, flavored with lime and cinnamon and sweetened with a lot of sugar.
It was easy to replace sugar with a low-carb sweetener, but the rice... Don't worry, I didn't use Cauli-rice, I used chia seeds instead!
