Warm Horchata

37 comments

A friend who works in advertising tried to tell me people only like ice cold drinks today because of some ad campaign created in like 1930. I guess she never heard about the ancient Romans having ice hauled in from Switzerland.
- In the scolding hot summer, I only like ice in my beverage because of an campaign in the 30s, not because it makes the drink colder and feels more refreshing.
- Rome was once covered in ice.

What's a horchata?
- Soak rice overnight. Add riceand water, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, to blender . Blend. Strain. Serve over ice, or not.
  
  Serve over ice, or not
  I drink my horchata warm because fuck ICE
  
  They have powder at the supermarket that is delicious.
- It's a sweet, frothy, milk-like drink popular in Hispanic and Latin culture.
  
  Not sure, maybe is something from Central America because first time hearing about it
  
  Reading other people's explanations makes me feel a little bad that my brain went
  "Mexican chocolate milk with cinnamon"
  I oughta work on some biases
- Pure deliciousness.
- A drink that tastes like melted churro ice cream.

The worst after warm Beer

I’m with you on that. Not a fan of ice diluting my beverage unless it’s water.
I even have an ice cube tray reserved for leftover coffee, so when I make iced coffee it doesn’t dilute.
- I make all my ice cubes with vodka.

Can't even hear her talking with the song but there's a good basic idea here. Rice milk (or even cooked and mashed rice), coconut milk, also oat milk (?), maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, heated up. Real winter drink.
- Why is she trying to talk over the music?

I don't really care if illegal immigrants are deported.
- Ok, so lets deport every white person. If you're white, your family didnt immigrate here legally.
  
  You are right. We came on horseback with guns and took it. We didn't immigrate, we conquered. Feel free to try the same shit now.
- we should just melt down the statue of liberty for scrap copper at this point
- Then you need to work on your empathy and understanding of geopolitics.
- That’s not what’s happening though.
- Well, you're getting deported from lemmy, bye 👋

Does she not have a refrigerator?
- It's running.
  
  better go catch it. lol
- Jokes aside, warm or hot horchata is yummy
