Frozen Horchata Latte image

Growing up in Chicago, we ate a ton of amazing Mexican food. Most of my favorite Mexican places had horchata de arroz, a rice milk spiced with cinnamon. It's sooooo good! This version blends horchata into a frozen latte. Espresso mixed with cinnamon and creamy milk is the most delicious way to get a brunchtime caffeine buzz.
