A short YouTube recipe demonstration by Ben Greenfield showing how to make a chocolate-style horchata using baruca nuts. He describes soaking the nuts, measuring 8 cups of soaked nuts, using a 2:1 nuts-to-water ratio, blending (30–60 seconds), straining with a nut milk bag/cheesecloth, flavoring the extracted milk, and serving either cold over ice or warm.
About 24 hours.
8 cups.
2 to 1 (nuts to water).
About 30 to 60 seconds.
Alright, it's horchata time. I've got an ample amount of barucanuts that I've soaked in water for about 24 hours. I'm going to take these soaked baruca nuts, I'm going to strain the water and measure out how many nuts we have. We have a total of 8 cups of nuts that we are going to blend with our water. We're going to actually use a 2 to 1 ratio of nuts to water. Going to add our water and boil. Use my cheese cloth to cover up the whole of the blender. Gonna blend this for about 30 to 60 seconds or so. I got my nut milk bag. I'm gonna basically pour my hot beverage and once I've got everything in the nut bag here, you can just basically squeeze all of your goodness right out of this bag into the pot. I'm gonna flavor my milk and then what we do is we mix this all up and the horchata can be drank cold over ice. It can be warm like a hot chocolate.
