Vegan Horchata

This Vegan Horchata, or Agua de Horchata, is simple to make, and is so delicious. Your favorite Mexican cinnamon rice drink!

Traditionally, horchata has sweetened condensed milk! I added in cashews to bring that same creaminess but feel free to just do rice (will not come out as creamy but still delish and refreshing) and/or add a can of vegan condensed milk if you can get your hands on some! For sweetener I added 100% pure maple syrup because the flavor is mild but feel free to add white cane sugar.
