Horchata is a summer drink that is the subject of eternal debate: some consider it an elixir of the gods, and others see it as “milk that tastes like earth.” What seems to be accepted by almost everyone is that its best versions are usually found in horchaterías with a long tradition or in homes where it is prepared by hand. Industrial horchatas from supermarkets are not very popular… and that is why it is urgent to answer a question: is there any that is safe from the fire?
The person in charge of solving the issue is Mariola Cubellsa journalist specializing in television but also collaborator of the very gastronomic Repsol Guidewho has blind-tasted nine brands for El Comidista in a new expert tasting. Cubells is not only a fan of this drink, but he also makes it repeatedly at home every summer, so the bar is set high. Which one did he like the most? Which one did he like the least? Watch the video above and you’ll find out.
