Now, my Salvadoran husband Carlos always accuses me of loving Mexican things more than Salvadoran things. Today I will prove to you that this isn’t true – at least not all the time. In the case of horchata – Mexican horchata does not tempt me even a little – but Salvadoran horchata is possibly my very favorite drink!
What’s the difference? Mexican horchata is made of mostly rice. Salvadoran horchata is made of Morro Seed. The ingredients in most Salvadoran horchata bags will read something like: Morro Seed, Rice, Cocoa, Cinnamon, Peanuts, Sesame Seed, Vanilla, Milk and Sugar. I wish there was some way to let you smell it. If they made Salvadoran Horchata perfume, I would wear it… and then lick myself. Seriously.
