Honeysuckle Horchata
Lightened sweetened with Organic Coconut Sugar, this Honeysuckle Horchata beverage is just what this summer is calling for.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ Lundberg Sprouted Brown Rice
- 1 cup Organic Shelled Hempseed
- ¾ cup Honeysuckle flowers
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 3 cups water for soaking
- 2 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup Organic Coconut Sugar
- 4 tablespoons
- 1 cup water (for chia gel)
- 2 tablespoons Organic Liquid Coconut Oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 8 ½ cups water
Instructions
- Pour 3 cups of water into a blender and add the rice and hempseeds.
- Toss in the Honeysuckle flowers and 2 sticks of cinnamon.
- Soak this mix for at least 3 hours (overnight is best).
- Puree the mixture on high until everything that is solid and broken into tiny pieces (at least a quarter of the size of a grain of rice).
- Strain the mixture through a nut milk bag (or cheesecloth) and into a large mason jar (that holds a total of 10 cups of liquid) by straining about a cup of the mix at a time. Discard the solids each time, and squeeze out every last bit of ‘juice’.
- Make chia gel by measuring in the White Chia Seeds and pouring the water into a small bowl. Stir and let sit for 5-7 minutes. Set aside until just before serving.
- Pour the strained mix back into the blender and add the Liquid Coconut Oil, Coconut Sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Blend on high for a minute until frothy.
- Add mixture back into the big mason jar and add the chia gel, sea salt, and 8 ½ cups of water.
- Shake and serve over ice.

“Make chia gel by measuring in the White Chia Seeds and pouring the water into a small bowl. Stir and let sit for 5-7 minutes. Set aside until just before serving.”
Huh?! How much water? No mention of water in the ingredients list; and I don’t believe we’re talking about the 8 1/2 cups mentioned in step 9, either.
Hi Angel,
So sorry for the confusion. To make the chia gel use 1 cup of water.
