Guest guest Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Christie, this is how we make is here in my area. I have never tasted it with almonds. It can be very sweet so adjust to taste. I prefer it with no sugar, I add to my cold cereal or oatmeal and I add some raw sugar then. Yiu have Whole Foods? Has it been there long? That's great news, is the store large?

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 No sadly we don't have that store, Donna - it sounds great. This is a whole food shop called Real Foods, smallish, fairly well stocked but quite pricey (as are most things here, to be fair). I will try the horchata without sugar - I don't like it too sweet. Thank you for the recipe. Christie , Donnalilacflower <thelilacflower wrote: > > Christie, this is how we make is here in my area. I > have never tasted it with almonds.
