Horchata Recipe: How to Make Our Favorite from El Union | Food Hacks NOT by Pepper • Pepper.ph

The good folks at El Union in La Union, Philippines shared their famous horchata recipe a few weeks back, and we just had to try it on this episode of #FoodHacksNOTByPepper-if just to get a semblance of what could have been summer 2020. Here's how to make the drink at home (for now)! #PepperPH #supportlocal
