In celebration of Cinco de Mayo we added a JEM twist to some classic Mexican dishes! Horchata is a creamy, cinnamony, almond and rice based drink. It’s refreshing, easy to make and is dairy free, gluten free and vegan! We added our fan favorite Cinnamon Maca Almond Butter to it to add even more depth to the cinnamon flavor and the extra health benefits of maca.
