I was excited to try the horchata base flavor but my sample tastes only like spices to me....
.. If God wants to take me down because I inhaled some coumarin or custard, I'll laugh at his sense of humor on my way out.
Okay Dolly, in that case I won't feel guilty posting my favorite use of Horchata. first of all, it IS only spices, and they're powerful. I gagged when I tried it plain, figured I'd only ever use tiny percents. Then one day I found that Horchata mixed with half as much TFA Sweet Cream makes it taste great! I know it sounds like an impossibly huge percent of Horchata, but you ought to try this:
Fruit Smoothie
6% TFA Horchata Base (really, trust me)
3% TFA Sweet Cream
4% total of fruit flavors
For the fruit flavors, these combos have been good to me:
any combo of peach, coconut, pineapple
mix of dark fruits, like raspberry, sweet strawberry, black cherry, blueberry...
lychee or dragonfruit with lime and watermelon (different and tasty combo, go light on lime, heavy on watermelon)
banana, coconut, orange
I know it takes guts to mix 6% Horchata, lol! Try the smallest batch you can, and I think you'll find this somehow comes together into something very tasty. Disclaimer: yeah, coumarin in Horchata, and custard notes in sweet cream
