✨These quantities will make about 4 servings of strawberry horchata.

Place about 1/4 cup of diced strawberries in a glass and use a muddler to mash them. Add ice, pour horchata, and finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Variations for Horchata with Strawberries
While the above steps outline the basic method, you can always personalize your strawberry horchata. Consider these variations to tailor it to your taste:
- Blend your strawberries: You can make horchata de fresa by blending strawberries for a unique flavor and texture. Just add the horchata and strawberries (you could use frozen strawberries here) to the blender and blend until creamy; strain if you need to.
- Adjust the Sweetness: Feel free to modify the amount of sugar based on how sweet you like your drinks. Agave syrup or honey are great alternatives for a different kind of sweetness.
- Boost the Strawberry Flavor: Add more strawberries or a splash of strawberry syrup for an even stronger strawberry taste.
- Make paletas. Make strawberry horchata paletas by pouring horchata into the paleta molds and diced strawberries.
