Horchata is a traditional Mexican beverage made from rice, cinnamon, and sugar. Our flavor reminds us of cinnamon rice pudding! It's fantastic in hard candy & lollipops and we also love it as a flavor in caramels, marshmallows, and frosting.

This flavor is water-soluble but has been shown to be effective when flavoring chocolates and coatings (confectionary coatings).   If too much flavor is used, it may cause thickening.  Add liquified coconut oil, or cocoa butter to help thin/smooth.  This flavor is appropriate for use in chocolate mixtures such as ganache, fudges, fondants, and icings (typical use is ¼ - ½ teaspoon per pound of chocolate or coating).
