El Tazumal Salvadoran horchata
SALVADORAN HORCHATA: C ... Average
I wasn’t impressed with it on my first visit. After having tried Salvadoran horchata in El Salvador and throughout Central Amerca, this is just not a drink I like.
Wiki sums up Salvadoran horchata
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horchata...
The horchata found in El Salvador is primarily made from morro seeds, not rice. Other common ingredients include ground cocoa, cinnamon, sesame seeds, nutmeg, tigernuts and vanilla. Other nuts that may also be used include peanuts, almonds and cashews.”
Most I tried in Central America were peanut-based with a little cinamon and nutmeg and then varied from there. I’m not sure what is in the version at El Tazumal, but it shared the same quality as any other version. It is grittier than Mexican horchata with a thick layor of the ingredients settling to the bottom so you have to keep stirring with a straw.
At El Tazumal it was pretty flavorless, but that is a quality of a lot of versions I tried.
