Homemade Horchata/ w/FE Sweet Rice

After trying both TFA Horchatas and CAPs (they're not bad). I ordered FE Sweet Rice so I can make, what I feel, a smoother, more tuned to my taste Horchata. I have never had the real Horchata drink, but have mixed countless different variations using TFA and CAPs. IMO, FE Sweet Rice is worth getting on your next order. It will always be in my flavor stash.
My next batch may include .5% INW Vanilla Classic just bring a tad of vanilla sweetness to the party.
You may want to adjust the cinnamon to you liking. Just be aware Sweet Rice may be easily over powered if you go too high. (Any suggestions for a sugary cinnamon would be much appreciated)

Sweet Rice(FE) 3%
Fresh Cream(FA) 1.5%
Dairy/Milk(TFA) 1.5%
Cinnamon Ceylon(FA) .5%
(min. 8-10 day steep)

What about the Flavorah Rich Cinnamon? I finally broke down & got it for @Teresa P 's Crema Fritta recipe.

The rich cinnamon doesn't lean toward a sugary cinnamon. I'd use another "sweet" flavor to boost it, depending on the flavor profile you're after.

Heavens no, I sold that thing last year....lol! My all-time fave tank is the Boreas, but have developed a very high liking for the TFV8 and TFV12. ;)
I have a Kaos Erebus that is a wonderful "at home" tank because it doesn't like to leave an upright position without leaking, but the flavor is massive. And finally got the Pharoah that I've eyed for so long, and hate it.

Yeah. Mine just sits around all day now(thought I could send it your way). I picked up a OBS Engine from Fasttech over the Dads day sale. I love the thing. It can't leak and gives flavors I didn't know were there.

I've drank gallons of the real stuff and won't wait to add any vanilla to my mix. :) I'm also thinking of a very small almond flavor addition in a separate mix.

Most of the horchata I've drank has been sweet and with cinamon more of a background flavor. I'm going to try 1 drop of FLV Rich Cinamon in a 25 ml batch. One drop of it in a 10 ml mix may be too much. For me.;)

I've tried Cap Horchata as a single mix (@ 6%) and did not enjoy it at all.

Thanks for the Recipe!

If you need a good deal on a mod. I grabbed this on sale(still is as of today) https://www.eightvape.com/products/sigelei-fuchai-duo-3-mod?variant=42793980998
I can't vouch for TC, I do power mode. I found coupon code REDDIT12 and it worked for an additional 12% off. $37 and change shipped. It doesn't come with the extra door for a third battery if anyone cares.
EDIT: REDDT12 works

So odd you should suggest this...my husband got me a beautiful Fuchai Duo 3 for my birthday. It died 6 days later but I finally got store credit from VapeNw to replace it. I didn't get another like it, was afraid to, but did replace it with a gorgeous Ipv Vesta. ;)

I like the thought of Torrone to give it a sweet almond fluff. Good call.

I wish I could take credit for that call...but can't. :gaah:

I also can't remember who's recipe (or which recipe) I tried where the FA Torrone seemed to really make the FA Almond "pop"..

I thought I would try the other (no almond) version first. It's Good! A very tasty, refreshing and smooth vape. I'm thinking that with my INW Vanilla addition, I might wish to up the rice flavor a tad. While they play well with each other, the vanilla does tone down the rice a tiny bit. Sweetness and cinnamon levels were just what I was looking for.

I'll admit, I've led a spoiled life when it comes to drinking horchata. It's always been chilled. I was considering adding something to make this mix so. But no...it's just fine without it. (I'm still considering a sizable FA Rum and Brandy addition though...:))

Maybe make some at home?

Plenty of recipes like...
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/141828/lolas-horchata/
...on the internet and the ingredients should not be too hard to find.

Horchata tastes nothing like the other popular rice drink....Sake!
(Sake is much more difficult to make well at home ;))

I've only made 4 batches. (around 20 gallons in total) I was lucky to make some very good sake and several friends continue to ask me to make more. There's a lot of room for error (proper temperature control for a month or so.. for example) and if I screw up a batch nowadays it would cost me around $70.:eek:
Many years I don't drink $70 in store bought sake.:vino:
(okay...not that many years:))

I made a second batch adding FA Marzipan @ 1%= FANTASTIC. It really took it to a smoother, mouth feelier place. I like the ideal of adding vanilla and feel your right regarding increasing sweet rice. Sweet rice is a delicate flavor and introducing more/other flavorings to it seems to mute it further.

Reading your post made me drop everything and sample a bit of my almond flavors mix. I personally prefer the almond additions mix to the one without. Not that the "just" horchata is not very good, I think because the complexity and depth of flavor just suits me more. It seems a pleasing little bit sweeter too. I certainly will be trying your Marzipan addition suggestion!

I'm confident you have also perused the various recipes floating around that use the Sweet Rice in fruit flavored Bobas. The ones I've seen use 4.5-5.5% sweet rice. My understanding is a real Boba is a drink where tapioca and not rice provide the drink body. I have not drank that many Bobas, but the ones I've tried do have more body that and horchata I've sampled. I agree, especially with the almond type flavors addition, that a bit more sweet rice may be called for. I'm not certain at what rice amount level it might change into a Boba. (or if I should be in any way concerned if it does :))

Boba is another drink that I've never had, but always intrigued me(I need to get out more). From what I can surmise, the tapioca is used mainly as a mouth feel. Looks like I need to pull out my 3D BB and see what happens.

Again, another lovely looking recipe. And another use for sweet rice! A question....since FLV Rich Cinnamon is on the table, any reason to replace for Ceylon Cinnamon? I ordered it today and am looking for uses besides your Cinnamon Girl recipe. Thinking about rice pudding..... might go make rice pudding to eat!

I made this mix before having Rich Cinnamon. Next batch I'm going to try it with RC. I'm working on Rice pudding now. Here's what I have so far .
Sweet Rice(FE) 3%
Vanilla Custard V1(CAP) 3%
Sweet Cream(CAP) 2%
Vanilla Classic(FA) 1%
Rich Cinnamon(FE) 1drop per 15ml
This version has only been steeping 5 days and I happy where it's headed.

My experience is that the only reason not to replace the FA with FLV is if you are making less than a 30 ml batch.

With the addition of the .5% INW Vanilla Classic, do you think upping the FE Sweet Rice to 4% is enough to balance it? (I'm taking notes, in prep for my purchase of FE Sweet Rice :D)
