Horchata (Rice Milk) image

This is quite tasty but even more helpful is it is good when you are sick. The rice milk is gentle on the tummy and calms queasiness particularly if you just grate a wee bit of fresh nutmeg over it. Another little note, there is some small rice particles left that you strain out, take these and simmer them in salted water or milk...
