Here are the recipes. I'll describe the deviations that I made from the recipes in the comments. And I'll link to the recipe sources, too. Also, I'd appreciate anyone's horchata tips and tricks. I would have like a stronger rice flavor and a more water-like consistency. I had a lot of sediment in my horchata. Thanks.
