I followed the recipe almost as is except omitted the rum. I did accidentally use almost boiling water, though. It was really, really good! Perfect as is!

made this for a back yard party-along with tropical fruit kabobs (sprinkled with TAJIN seasoning) worth the time! LOVE it!

Unbelievable recipe! Have made with and without rum...I probably make this recipe at least once a week for my family.

This was delicious, though I haven't had horchata in awhile so I'm not sure how authentic it is. I generally don't like to add alcohol to drinks that are usually non-alcoholic but I do think adding rum really enhances the flavor. I also added a little bit of honey and used short grained rice because it was all I had.

great drink all the moms as my MOPS meeting loved it. I did omit the rum as for the nursing mothers and it was 9 in the morning. great for a family friendly cinco de mayo gathering

Rum is not optional, it made the drink & smoothed out the cinnamon. Very delicious and going to make more.

I made this a virgin drink, and didn't put as much condensed milk as the recipe calls for, because I only had a can of 300ml instead of 400ml. But it still tasted great! Thanks!!!

This horchata comes out perfect! I keep the rum separate so people can add as much or as little as they want.

I made this drink without the rum, but it was absolutely stellar! My husband had never had horchata and now he is addicted!

My husband *loves* horchata so I decided to try this recipe out -- he says it's some of the best he's had. It's a bit timing consuming to make but otherwise quite easy. I followed the directions to a T and it was great. Adding to my list of regulars. Love it!
