    Its a shame that people are so judgmental about her unique take on a traditional Mexican drink. If you watched the show … you would have watched her clearly explain that this is not really a horchata but rather a quick easy way to make a similar refreshing drink. Marcela holds true to Mexican culture and flavor more than any TV Chef I know. Its frustrating to read reviews on that do not mention the actual recipe but rather attempt to challenge her style. She is a great host and shows absolute respect for her culture and food. Lets not forget she is speaking to an American audience on an American food network.

    This recipe is a great alternative to the original rice horchata which take 8 hours. Though it may not be authentic … it tastes great and 30-2hrs is much more convenient. Thanks for reading.

    I also agree with night shade. Marcela your reciepe is good but please dont confuse people by calling this Horchata because it's not. Also some of your reciepes are not true authentic Mexican reciepes, a lot of it is very americanized and it would be nice to explain that to the public.
