Скачать или смотреть Salvadorean Horchata Recipe | Mum helps me make fresh Horchata | In English y Español

My mum and I try a new recipe to make Horchata de Morro - El Salvador's unique flavour punched drink. This is one variation of Horchata de Morro - every region and family have their own twist but the key ingredients are Morro seeds, sesame seeds, cinnamon, pepitas and nuts.
This is a nutrient full, lactose free and vegan drink that Salvadoreños are so proud of and is culturally important to us. Salvi Horchata is usually a dark colour - ours came out really light coloured because we strained it with 4 layers of cheese cloth - so don't strain as much or you can add more Morro seeds to yours for that genuine Horchata look :) We were a bit stingy because the seeds are hard to find here in Australia.

Ingredients:
QTY equal amounts of the these:
Morro Seeds (Increase amount for stronger morro flavour)
Rice
Sesame Seeds

QTY Just a small handful of these (remove nuts for nut-free horchata):
Cashews
Peanuts
Pepitas

QTY to your liking - add as much or less as you like:
Cacao
Allspice or Pimienta Gorda
Nutmeg
Cinnamon
Sugar
Water

Last month I travelled up to Rockhampton from Brisbane where they have the Botanic's Garden which had a special program where they grew fruit tress from Central America. One of these trees was the Morro tree and I was able to finally see it in the flesh. I have included a small clip of the tree and fruit in this video.

Just a reminder to please be respectful of culturally important foods. Be kind and buen provecho!
