Melon Horchata
Melon Horchata
Horchata de Melon
This horchata, a refreshing cold drink, is made from cantaloupe and is a favorite. It may seem strange to use the seeds along with the melon flesh, but that’s the custom, and the resulting drink is very good. Another well-known horchata is made with rice.
