For a richer flavor, toast the almonds and coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly golden before grinding. Be careful not to burn them! If you don't have a food processor, you can use a high-powered blender, but you may need to strain the mixture more thoroughly. Adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk to your liking. For a less sweet horchata, start with half the can and add more to taste. For a boozy version, add 1-2 ounces of white rum or coconut rum to each serving.

Dec 3, 2024I used oat milk instead of coconut milk to cut down the sweetness, and it was still delicious! Thanks for the great recipe!
