El Sabor de Oaxaca Horchata Powder
Horchata is a refreshingly sweet Latin American drink that is mild and creamy, with hints of cinnamon and vanilla. When blended with water or milk, this powder recreates the plant-based drink, which is found all over Mexico. El Sabor de Oaxaca’s authentic blend of horchata powder is made in Mexico from powdered rice and ground almonds. Depending on your preference, the texture of the drink can be mildly gritty or strained for a smoother consistency. This drink can be served cold over ice as a refreshing beverage, or served warm as a latte, using hot milk in place of water, then steaming to add foam.

​Villa Real Hot Chocolate with Vanilla
This hot chocolate has only a few raw ingredients, yet the beverage has a wonderful depth and warmth, as well as a complex flavor: creamy, nutty and perfectly balanced between bitter and sweet. The addition of ground almonds makes for a silkier, buttery mouthfeel, especially if you whisk the milk constantly while heating it; this allows the nutty aroma of the almonds to permeate the drink for a richer sensation and fullness of flavor. The vanilla's pronounced aroma—paired with a greater percentage of cocoa—produces a comforting, familiar flavor profile that reminds us of high-quality milk chocolate. And cinnamon, a defining feature of Mexican hot chocolate, is an ideal complement for cacao's bitter undertones, as its spicy aroma brightens hot chocolate while its floral accents match those in the drink.

We also like how the warming spice cuts through the creamy milk so the drink is satisfying but not overly rich. We found this chocolate to a fragrant finish that is slightly reminiscent of coconut.
