1-Pot Apple Butter (with Dates!) | Minimalist Bakery Recipes
Did you ever celebrate Cinco de Mayo growing up? Even though I’m almost entirely German and part Swedish I had the pleasure of celebrating this super fun holiday in many a Spanish class throughout my high school and college years. While I never fully understood the traditional cultural practices surrounding holidays like Dia de los Muertos I was all for celebrating our Mexican heritage on May 5th. Plus it was a great excuse to overindulge in horchata pastries and grilled corn on a stick! Ay ay!
Horchata also known as orxata de zufa is a creamy drink that is believed to have originated in Valencia Spain. It is popular throughout Europe Central and South America and the United States. However the ingredients name and flavor vary by region.
In Mexico and Guatemala horchata is commonly made with rice cinnamon and vanilla. But in other regions it’s made with morro seeds tiger nuts almonds sesame seeds barley and more! Our version is most similar to the Mexican and Guatemalan versions but is plant-based and sweetened with dates instead of sugar.
