Cashew horchata, or horchata de nuez de la India, is a delightful diabetic-friendly beverage that beautifully blends the creaminess of cashews with the subtle warmth of Mexican cinnamon. This refreshing drink, traditionally enjoyed in Latin American cultures, offers a unique twist with the use of brown rice, creating a smooth, nutty flavour that is both satisfying and revitalising.

Ideal for warm afternoons or as a sweet treat after dinner, this easy-to-make horchata is naturally low in sugar, allowing you to enjoy its rich taste without the guilt. Simply serve it chilled, perhaps with a sprinkle of extra cinnamon or a splash of vanilla, making it a perfect accompaniment to a variety of dishes or a refreshing pick-me-up throughout the day.
