At soccer games in Honduras, horchata is often sold in sealed plastic bags, tossed to customers by the young kids hawking it from the aisles of the stadium. Honduran-American blogger and baker Bryan Ford recalls learning to drink this popular cinnamon-and-rice treat straight from a hole in the bag in practically one gulp. Ford’s variation on the classic recipe incorporates cocoa powder, and a splash of silky oat and coconut milks. Substitute any dairy—evaporated or condensed milk, or whole milk—for a richer result.
