Sweet, creamy, silky cinnamon rice milk is such a treat and this recipe for Healthy Homemade Instant Pot Horchata is making it easier and healthier than ever before! Read on for the tips and tricks!
For years I've been a “I'll just have water” kind of gal at restaurants. I eat out for the food, not for the drink.
But wow, Mexican restaurants put the true test on my self-control with all that creamy ice-cold Horchata on tap action goin' on!
Do you agree?
In case someone hasn't heard of it, let me quickly explain what Horchata is so we can all get super excited about this new recipe together!
WHAT IS HORCHATA
Horchata is a Mexican drink most commonly made with rice, cinnamon, and sugar. The rice is soaked for several hours, blended with water, cinnamon, and sugar, then strained to make a smooth, white drink that looks like milk. Variations of the drink include the addition or substitution of nuts and seeds for the rice.
Restaurant style Horchata is amazing, but is heavily sweetened with sugar, making it more of a treat, in my opinion, vs a refreshing drink to sip on 3 times a day (which is how we like it).
So naturally, I concluded that if I wanted to let my kids drink a quart of it daily, the recipe was going to need some tweaking.
MY HOMEMADE HORCHATA DISCOVERY
When we were newlyweds, I set out to impress my husband by making him his favorite Mexican drink. It turned into quite the ordeal. The rice had to be soaked overnight, my blender was too small and pathetic to break it down very well, and my sieve was not as fine mesh as it needed to be. Basically, we had Horchata so thick we could have eaten it with a spoon. Oh, it was gross.
It wasn't until my sis told me about a new appliance called the Almond Cow, that I got the inkling to give it another try.
You know I love a good kitchen appliance, my friends, and THIS, is a GOOD one – more on it in a sec!
I'm not new to making almond milk, in fact I use this Instant Pot/blender Almond Milk recipe often.
But you know what always sends me back to the store-bought almond milk? It was the darn Nut Milk Bag.
To be honest, it's not all that hard, but the straining, squeezing, and then cleaning of the bag was just an extra 15 minutes of cleanup that kept me saying, “I'll just put it on my grocery order.”
When I watched Cami make herself some cashew milk with the Almond Cow, I was immediately sold.
WHAT IS AN ALMOND COW?
The Almond Cow is an all-in-one plant-based milk maker that magically blends your nuts, coconut, or oats and separates the pulp from the milk too. When it's done blending, you're left with foamy, delicious milk in the base, and the pulp remains in the filter basket.
To enjoy, just pour your milk into mason jars and scoop the pulp into a container for another purpose (we'll talk about that in a sec). Rinsing out the basket takes about 10 seconds and YOU ARE DONE!
If you're interested in using the Almond Cow for Almond Milk, you can refer to my Instant Pot Almond Milk recipe or check out the Almond Cow website for their unique creations.

ALMOND COW HORCHATA
I wanted to try something a little different with the Almond Cow and that's how this Instant Pot Horchata trick came to be.
With the Instant Pot, we can skip the overnight rice soak and get that done in less than 10 minutes with the magic of pressure cooking.
But I didn't stop there! I added cinnamon sticks and dates to the pot as well to really infuse the rice with as much flavor as possible, then added cashews to make the milk extra EXTRA creamy.
Pressure cooking the ingredients softens everything so well that it can easily be blended in the Almond Cow or a blender.
Note: I should add that to make nut milk with the Almond Cow, nuts don't HAVE to be softened or soaked, but in my experience, the milk is more flavorful if you do.
So what do you think? Are you curious? Do you want to give Homemade Horchata a try? I promise, YOU DO! Today!
WHY YOU WILL LOVE INSTANT POT HORCHATA
- FASTER: 1 minute pressure cook time, 5 minute natural pressure release, and it is READY TO BLEND!
- HEALTHY! Sweetened with dates and thickened naturally with rice and nuts.
- THE COOL FACTOR: Not to brag, but my kids, husband, sister, and especially my Horchata lovin' brother in law talked for days about this recipe. And my kids felt super special that they got flavored milk for a change.
- SOOTHES THE SOUL: Sippin' slowly on Horchata is like sending peace right to your soul. I don't know what it is, but it's got superpowers.
HOW TO MAKE HORCHATA IN THE PRESSURE COOKER WITH THE ALMOND COW
- Everything goes in the pot
- Pressure cook for 1 minute until everything is soft
- Add water to the Almond Cow base
- Add half of the rice mixture into the filter basket
- Twist the filter basket into place
- Attach motor to the base
- Press the start button and let it go through 3 cycles of blending
- Open basket
- Scrape pulp into a container and add remaining rice mixture; blend again
- Set top motor aside
- Behold your creamy Horchata masterpiece!
- Whisk in vanilla extract for extra flavor
SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR DETAILED COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO MAKE HORCHATA IN A BLENDER
To do this in a blender, add all of the rice mixture into a high speed blender with the water and blend until very smooth. Pour through a nut milk bag and squeeze the bag to release the milk into a bowl (more details in the recipe card below).
TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST HORCHATA
- WHITE RICE VS BROWN RICE: I really loved the nutty flavor of the brown rice, but my kids preferred the white. To use brown, cook the rice for 5 minutes instead of 1 and use 1 1/2 cups of water instead of 1 cup.
- USE RAW CASHEWS: Avoid roasted and salted cashews. I already made that mistake for you, yuck. If you don't like the idea of cooking the cashews to soften them, simply plan ahead and soak your cashews overnight instead.
- ALMONDS: Swap the cashews for almonds if you like. It's not quite as creamy, but it works!
- CINNAMON: If you can find Vietnamese cinnamon sticks, they are incredible! I order them in bulk on Amazon because I love them so much. Regular cinnamon sticks will do just fine, so don't stress it if that's what you have. I like a strong cinnamon flavor so I use 3 sticks. If you'd like it milder, go with 2. Ground cinnamon can also be used, but I had issues with it clumping together in the fridge. The cinnamon sticks did a great job of infusing flavor into the milk without the clumping.
- ON THE ROCKS: My preference is to serve Horchata over crushed ice, but my husband says that large ice cubes is the way to go. Regardless, just serve it ICE COLD!
HOW TO STORE HORCHATA
Homemade almond milk doesn't last as long as store-bought, and the same goes for Homemade Horchata. Store in a sealed container (I use mason jars) and enjoy within 3 – 5 days.
VARIATIONS OF HORCHATA
- SPICED HORCHATA: Go crazy with your favorite warm spices like cardamom, nutmeg, cloves, and even cayenne.
- FRUITY HORCHATA: Add strawberries, raspberries, mangos, bananas, etc to the filter basket or blender to make a yummy fruity variation.
- CHOCOLATE HORCHATA: A scoop of cocoa powder or Crio Bru grounds makes this feel like a chocolate milkshake.
EXTRA TIDBITS
WHAT TO DO WITH LEFTOVER NUT MILK PULP
Don't waste the pulp! I'm guilty of tossing way to much almond pulp over the years for lack of knowing what to do with it. The Almond Cow website has recipes for cookies, cakes, cereal bars, “pulpmeal” (which is a play on oatmeal), and more. Go check it out!
Gone are the days of Horchata being an occasional treat! With the help of the Instant Pot and Almond Cow or blender, we can all indulge in this creamy, silky drink any day of the week. Are you excited? I've been drinking it for 3 months and I still get excited 🙂
Chances are you've got all the ingredients you need to make it sitting in the pantry. Whip some up soon and let me know what you think!

- Pour rice mixture into a high speed blender. Add 5 cups water. Blend on high speed until smooth, about 1 ½ – 2 minutes.
- Place a nut milk bag inside a medium size bowl and pour milk into bag. Gently twist and squeeze the bag to release milk into the bowl. Discard leftover rice pulp (or see note for how to repurpose it).
- Whisk vanilla extract into Horchata.
- Pour strained Horchata into quart size mason jars and store in the refrigerator for 3 – 5 days. Shake well before serving.
Notes
- Almonds can be used instead of cashews. It isn’t quite as creamy, but it’s still delicious.
- If you can find it, Vietnamese Cinnamon sticks are amazing!
- If you’re concerned about cooking the cashews to soften them, you can use them uncooked. The Horchata won’t be quite as smooth and creamy. If you plan ahead, you can soak the cashews overnight as well.
- I prefer using cinnamon sticks because the flavor infuses into the Horchata better. Ground Cinnamon tends to clump a bit. If you prefer to use the ground, use 2 teaspoons and make sure to shake the milk well before pouring it into glasses.
- There is a lot of nutrition left in the pulp! Here are several ways to use it.

Thanks for the Almond Cow discount. Just ordered mine!. This is a game changer.
Sandra, You will love it! It really is a game changer.
I have multiple people in my family that are lactose intolerant or sensitive. This would be awesome to save on money and a mess. Cool product! Thanks for sharing – it’s definitely something I’ll have to look more into.
My family really enjoys Horchata but we seldom buy it since it can be expensive along with having no idea what ingredients the restaurants in our area put into it. I’ve never tried making Horchata at home because I thought it would be tedious, time consuming and possibly not taste as good as what we could buy but an Almond Cow would be the perfect tool to use along with my Instant Pot. My daughter is lactose intolerant (along with having to be gluten free) so the Almond Cow would be a fun tool for her to use with me in experimenting with different types of plant-based milks.
I’ve never heard of an almond cow and I’m intrigued!!! I’ve been trying for awhile to move away from regular milk (not intolerant just sensitive) and a new gadget like this might just be the trick to getting me to try almond and nut based milks more
I have just been exploring horchata recipes this year and would love to find an easier way to make it with the Almond Cow! I also love your recipe which uses dates! (If this comment comes thru as a second comment from me, I’m so sorry. I tried to post once but I must have missed a step because I can’t find it now. Sorry in advance!)

My husband and I have been working to get out of debt for the last month and we are slowly making progress, it can be really difficult to cut costs when you are lactose intolerant so I’ve looked into making my own almond milk but we don’t even own a blender, so winning an @almondcow would be truly a dream come true… Plus your recipe for horchata looks amazing!!

I’ve never heard of the almond cow until I saw your Horchata story on IG. This is one of the coolest appliances I’ve ever seen. I tried making homemade oat milk once. Just once and I gave up after that. But the almond cow makes it so easy. I checked out the almond cow on IG and you can do so much more with it. I’m really impressed and would love to have one of my own.
★★★★★
This recipe sounds delicious. Can’t wait to try it. Due to a nut allergy in the family is there something you could use in place of the cashews? Do the cashews really make that much of a difference? Wpuld love an Almondcow for making oat milk. Thank you.
Rhonda, I’ll bet coconut or oats would be great in place of nuts!
I have an Almond Cow, which I only learned existed because of your review (and I used your site coupon!)—I love it! I would really love to win one for my nephew who is on the autism spectrum and has a very limited diet due to sensitivities. I think my sister, his mom, would really appreciate the way you can control all of the ingredients when making milk in the Almond Cow.
This is awesome! I never knew this existed! I Love milk but have been trying to find An alternative and have loved a few almond milks etc. but I’ve wanted to make them taste better…. this would be the best solution! Make my own!! This looks delicious.. I Also love horchata and have made it myself but it is very time consuming…. this would save so much time and looks so much healthier!
My family absolutely loves Horchata! Your recipe looks so delicious. We would love to try it out!
Ok, so that Almond Cow looks amazing! We are huge horchata fans over here…. always drinking it. We’ve stooped to simply buying it pre-made from restaurants because of the time it takes to make it at home. Now?? I’m excited to try this recipe! Definitely going to have to try it out soon. ❤😀
I am with your husband. The only way to drink horchata is in the biggest possible cup and super cold. That being said, I recently developed a pretty nasty lactose intolerance and I miss horchata since a lot of places spike it with milk. Boo! Not to mention, the dairy free milk prices are killing me! I have tried making them myself in the blender, but it is just so much work.
I am pretty new to IP cooking but every recipe you have shared that I tried has been amazing and delicious. My husband thinks I’ve hired a cook! Now I am ready to branch off into making my own treats and desserts and have frankly been scared to try. With the help of the Almond Cow – who knew such a handy gadget was available – I know I would be successful. Can’t wait to try a Horchata! Thank you!
Having the option to make my own non-dairy milks at home would be huge! I appreciate the simplicity of it, too. Definitely adding this recipe to my list and keeping my fingers, toes and eyes crossed! 🤞🏼

This recipe looks amazing!! Being allergic to dairy, I am reliant on alternative milks. To be able to easily make my own at home would be a blessing! But to be able to incorporate Crio Bru as you suggested…a dream come true!! I would love to give that amazing gadget a, pardon the pun, whirl!! 🤞

I have looked at the almond cow several times. I am totally crossing fingers and toes and wishing with all my might.
I have lactose intolerance as does my son and his daughter. We buy almond milk and love it but not the extra price. I would use this milk cow to try other nuts and to save money
I am a recent user of almond milk, having searched for a lower fat content substitute for cow’s milk. Due to the expense of store bought making my own would be preferable. I would love an Almond Cow.
I would love to have an Almond Cow! I am beginning my studies as a Holistic Health Coach, and would use the Almond Cow to develop healthy eating meal plans that would benefit myself and others. Thank you for the opportunity to win one!
I would love to have the Almond Cow for my dairy free daughter! It sounds like to would make the process if making almond milk quicker and easier! I’m also looking forward to trying ththe horchata recipe!

I’ve been a fan of almond milk for over a decade and have always been fascinated with (but intimidated to) make my own. The Almond Cow seems to be the answer to my dilemma.
Fantastic invention. I use almond milk and hubby uses soy. This will do both! I looked at all the various types of “milks” that Almond Cow has on their web site. The options are limitless . . . Thanks so much for the opportunity to win an Almond Cow.
I’d love to win an almond cow. I’ve looked at them a couple times and am curious if it’s really more convenient. I typically make cashew milk every few days and almond milk once in a while, but with an almond cow, I might make almond milk more often.
I would love to win the Almond Cow. I love Almond Milk but I make more Cashew milk because its easier and doesn’t need strained. Thank you.
I have had to be dairy free for a few years now and I’ve been making my own Almond milk. And you’re right–the nut bag is just..annoying! HAHA! I would LOVE to win an Almond Cow! It sounds like a dream and to make other nut milks would be AMAZING! 🙂 PS. I lived in Phoenix and used to drink a lot of horchata and when we moved to Montana, I hadn’t thought of it since. 🙁 So excited to try the horchata recipe this weekend! <3
I would love to win an Almond cow. I found out last year that I can not have any dairy. So, I have been buying coconut milk and almond milk ever since. I have an Insta pot too. I would love to make my own milk instead of having to buy it. Thank you
I would love to win an Almond Cow. I’ve been using almond milk for years and have always wanted to try making it. I also LOVE horchata and can’t wait to try this recipe.
Yes! We go through almond milk like water. What a great invention Almond Cow appears to be!
I would love to win an almond cow. We aren’t supposed to drink milk so this would probably be less expensive than buying from our store and hopefully better.
This sounds like a recipe for life! I’d love the Almond Cow to make a variety of milks. Thank-you for the chance to win.

yes! We go through almond milk like water. What a great invention Almond Cow appears to be!
I love homemade almond milk but I think the nut milk bags are such a pain! The Moo Cow looks like it’d make clean up so much easier.
My 3rd grader and I are eating less meat and more plant-based protein meals. I use nut milks in our smoothies and am so put off by the ingredients and chemicals (in packaging) of the store-bought nut milks. This is simply a better choice and makes doing the right thing easy!
I would love this for my husband! In our 7 years of marriage I have had many failed attempts at making homemade HORCHATA. My husband often describes Mexico and how Horchata was a staple in most households. It was something that brought everyone together! When visiting families that was a drink everyone would sip on, instantly inviting comfort and peace in the home. That is something I would love to add to our environment. Whenever someone visits our home having this yummy drink to offer as it invites comfort and heritage/ culture into our home. Adding experience to someone else’s life
Great recipe with tips pre arrival of the Almond Cow appliance that I hope to win. I used to make my own coconut and almond milk but it is a messy process. It taste sooooo much better than store bought. (What a surprise with the stabilizers and preservatives that have to be added for shelf life). I love the extra suggestions for flavor variations and will try them starting tonight. Thanks for posting. And I hope to win.

I would love to be able to bless my mom with an Almond Cow machine since she just found out she has many allergies. I think this would be a game changer for her. Thank you
When I first heard of the Almond Cow I couldn’t believe something could make but milk in minutes! I have tried making nut milks myself but after a few failed attempts with the nut bag, I have given up. I would love to win this Almond Cow to drink my own nut milks again.
I recently just found out that I’m allergic to almonds, cashews and milk. Now knowing this, I’d love to be able to make my own flax milk, coconut, hazelnut milk etc so that I can control the ingredients that go into my nut milk and not have all the sugar and other unwanted ingredients. Winning an Almond Cow would be a life changer for me.
I would love an almond cow. My wife is lactose intolerant, so we buy almond milk but our fridge is really small so we cannot buy more than one carton at a time. I also really love horchata, so I would make this recipe for myself. We are both disabled so anything that makes life easier for us is greatly appreciated.
Wow, I make my own almond milk with the nut bag. I would love to win the Almond Cow and use it for all kinds of plant based milks!
I will be making your Horchata recipe- yum!

I would love the Almond Cow (cute name!) and not have to deal with straining through a nut milk bag. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
I’m so excited to try your recipe for the horchata. I love this drink. IT would be awesome to have the milking cow machine. For now I just got my rice bag from Amazon. I’m going to try it today. Thank you. 👍😃

I would like the almond cow for my son. He has 5 boys and would use this a lot. He has chrohns disease and has a hard time with cows milk. He works so hard, does all the cooking and really deserves this.
Recipe sounds delicious. I love using nut milks as dairy tends to disagree with me but I don’t like the idea of store bought containing all of the preservatives that make it shelf stable for so long. The Almond Cow sounds so awesome, I’ve never wanted to make my own before because it sounded too complicated, messy and time consuming! But, if I had an Almond Cow… watch out! Plus using my IP to cut time, now we’re talking!
★★★★★
I never knew there was such a magical machine until I read your post!! The time I would save making nut milks for my family!! The Almond Cow would be a lifesaver!! Thank you for your page and all the great ideas!
This recipe intrigues me. Horchata sounds delicious and I think I’ll have to give it a try. I’ve got the time to do it via a blender, as I’m retired. However, the Almond Cow would be wonderful for my daughter, a busy mom with very little ones that keep her running. Getting dinner on the table is a challenge. (Oh how I remember those days!😊) Since the kids don’t drink dairy, this would be such a time saver for her!
Another amazing recipe! I’ve been making almond milk for years with the mesh strainer bag. It’s a mess and a hassle but it just tastes so much better than store-bought! I sometimes switch it up with soaked cashew nuts in a blender with water + cinnamon when I’m feeling lazy. But I would just LOVE to win the Almond Cow so I can go back to my beloved almond milk! Thanks for bringing it to our awareness, Marci!
★★★★★
I have been wanting an almond cow since I knew about it. You could almost say I have a love affair with almond milk as it’s the only “milk” I drink! I really can’t drink cows milk as it has adverse effects on my body. Good luck to everyone!
Would love to have an Almond Cow! Horchata is my favorite beverage, but as you point cow, it’s typically overly sweetened. Can’t wait to try your version with dates — thanks so much, Marci!
★★★★★
I would love to win an Almond Cow. My husband and I drink almond milk. I’ve not ventured into making my own, but the Almond Cow makes it sound much easier than the recipes I’ve seen online.
Horchata is a long-time favorite – so good to find your recipe!
I want to make my own oat-milk so the Almond Cow would be ideal.
★★★★★
As a senior trying to motivate my 90 year old husband motivated into eating well, the Almond Cow would certainly perk his interest … and the teenage grandkids may also love the Almond Cow, too!
Would I like a new toy???oh! Yes!!!! This Almond Cow is the best thing since sliced bread and I WANT ONE!!!!!
I would love an Almond cow because I know almond milk and other nit milks are so much healthier for you. With one of these I would make more almond milk from scratch rather than the commercially prepared almond milk. It looks beautiful and like a very handy appliance.
I was born lactose intolerant over 50 years ago and I grew up totally avoiding milk. The only alternative then was soy milk. Now, in order to get enough calcium I buy cartons and cartons of almond milk and it is pricey! I would love an Almond Cow and thank you for the chance to win one!
Thank you for offering up this recipe and this Almond Cow for giveaway! The recipe sounds sooo delicious. I’ve been wanting to make my own milks, but the nut milk bag has sounded time consuming and a bit overwhelming to me. I am not the best there is in the kitchen. I also have back issues that preclude from doing a lot of things on my own, or spending much time in the kitchen anymore. My gut (and dairy) issues would appreciate the Almond Cow And the Horchata. I finally got a job after a year and a half ( I had to switch professions since I could not stand up to do massage anymore) but I am making a lot less money and have to catch up on bills for quite some time before I could even think about a purchase such as this. It really does sound like an item I would use all the time and save $ in the long run…and the pulp – I have seen tons of dog cookie recipes over the years so I could share this tech with my 4 legg-eds and they could reap the benefits as well 🙂
I am trying to improve a health condition by eliminating dairy. Would love to try this product.
I would love an Almond Cow and this recipe sounds delicious.
I no longer drink milk and this would be a wonderful replacement instead of purchasing almond milk in the store.
★★★★★
Holy *cow* ~ (ha, see what I did there?!) ~ this would be SUCH a time saver! I’ve never heard of this machine before. I make my own nut milks (a couple of times a week, various flavors) and this would sure come in handy! Thanks for the chance to win!
★★★★★
Every day I use oat milk to cream my cup of Crio Bru. Thank you for introducing me to Crio Bru. I’d love an Almond Cow to make the oat milk and for nut milks as well. Of course I’d use it for this Horchata recipe as well.
I love your recipes and can’t wait to try this one. I have been dairy free for over 8 years so this something I could definitely use!
I’m encouraged to see that it’s possible to make our own nut and coconut milk using the Almond Cow. I’m trying to help my husband eat healthier due to a cardiac issue and the Almond Cow would allow me to save money by making our own milks. What a great appliance that opens up healthier eating to everyone!
★★★★★
I have always hesitated to make my own nut milks. I just know that the process will seem to overwhelming in our generally busy family days. I barely get the kitchen cleaned … I would love the Almond Cow appliance for the convenience. We don’t drink dairy in our house so having special non-dairy drink choices is something we’re always looking for. I would love to give the Horchata a try! Mmmm cinnamon!
This recipe sounds delicious and right up my alley being sweetened naturally. Now I just need to dig out my nut milk bag or get an Almond Cow! I’m like you – I used to use my nut milk bag for quite awhile and then got tired of the hassle and switched to store bought almond milk. But I really love to eliminate as many additives and preservatives as possible, so I’d LOVE to have an Almond Cow to streamline the process!
Thanks for all your great recipes and introducing me to so many new products! Because of food sensitivities I was making my own nut milk. Tasted great but the straining was time consuming and messy! I went back to the store brand almond milk with all its additives …sigh. I would love one of these machines to make nut milks!
★★★★★
Thanks for the recipe and info! I didn’t know the Almond Cow even even existed!
★★★★★
I love making almond milk- and usually forget to soak the almonds in advance, so really appreciate your recipe! I haven’t made the horchata yet, because I don’t love dealing with the nut bag! Thank you for all the recipes you develop- esp the bbq chicken on sweet potatoes!
★★★★★
I have been wanting one of these for the longest time, but financies preclude me from ordering right now. With my celiac, Hashimotos and Ehlder’s Danlo autoimmune disases I am supposed to be on a no-sugar, organic, special autoimmue diet and having this almond cow would be super helpful in allowing me to acheive better health. What a great giveaway!
First time I have read about this product and it excites me. I have an allergy to milk so this would be perfect for me. Thanks for all your wonderful tips and recipes.
My sister had a cancer scare recently, so we decided to switch to a plant-based way of eating. The Almond Cow would really help us with eliminating dairy.
I love your website and all the recipes I’ve tried have been delicious!!
★★★★★
Marci, thank you so much for offering this free giveaway and the discount code for the Almond Cow! I was so excited when I read this in your email. I have been following you and your recipes for quite some time (as I LOVE my Instant Pot and use it like 95 % of the time!) I have recently started juicing and have so wanted an easier way to make healthy nut milks and drinks. The Almond Cow would do this fabulously! Thank you again! 💕
My daughter has so wanted one if these Almond Cow machines. She can’t do real dairy and needs the Almond milk. This would be a perfect birthday gift for her.
★★★★★
Oooo, I’ve never heard of this but it sounds amazing! I’d love to win mainly because it’d make the whole process of making your own nut milks so easy and I’m all about easy! Sounds like a handy appliance to own!
I drink almond milk all the time because it has less sugar and carbs. I would love to win this!
★★★★★
I once lived in an area where Horchata was very popular – now I can make my own, thank you! I have researched the Almond Cow and wow, what an awesome piece of equipment. I have lactose intolerant and recently my husband has experienced the same thing…bummer. Having the almond cow would be a huge help in letting me experiment with different types of plant based milks. Thanks for the opportunity to win one!
★★★★★
yes I would love to have an Almond Cow, I am a dietitian and see patients on a daily basis who could benefit from this product. If I had one available I could show the product and provide samples which would be a great experience for them
I love your site and all the wonderful recipes, I would love an Almond Cow, it never fails every time I try and make Almond or Cashew milk I end up with a disaster area in my kitchen, with strainers and nut milk bags and blender, I have a mess. when I’m done making the mess I just don’t want the milk anymore, more trouble than its worth, an Almond Cow would defiantly make it all so simple, easy and minimal clean up, then I would be able to enjoy the milk. I will defiantly try the instant pot method instead of soaking the nuts next, thank you for all the wonderful tips on your site.
★★★★★
Hi Marci,
I love your page. I started making my own nut milk after reading you post about using instant pot instead of soaking. That was a game changer because I’m always forgetting to soak the nuts overnight🙄 But I’m totally like you and hate the straining step so I’d love an almond cow! ( I also have a kitchen appliance obsession…my husband calls me “the kitchen gadget queen” which is a title I wear proudly!!! 👸🏻 )
I would love to win an almond cow because I feel like with store bought almond milk I always have either too much or not enough! It would be great to be in control of how much I have to reduce waste. And to reduce carton trash!
Thank you for the information on the Almond Cow. I have a severe dairy allergy and have sadly passed it down to my children. So any dairy is strictly prohibited from our home. But our desire to have a creamy substitute such as almond milk is high on our list! Thank you for the great recipe! I will definitely make it!
Thanks for the great recipe and info on the Almond Cow. My teenage daughter and I have recently started a dairy free lifestyle and would love to have an Almond Cow!
Almond cow….. sounds very interesting!!!
I would LOVE to win an Almond Cow!!! I’ve been following both you and your sister for a while and ever since Cami posted about it, I’ve wanted one. I have a vegan daughter and another who is lactose intolerant so we go through lots of nut and oat milks. I keep looking at it, but the price is steep. Even if I don’t win, I love your recipes and help with the Instant Pot. Thanks for the opportunity!
I love horchata and this looks delicious! It would be awesome to make my own in my Instant Pot, and the fact that it’s so healthy is a plus too. Thanks for the chance to win an almond cow!!
★★★★★
I would love love love this to be my new obsession. Thanks Marci. I am always excited to see what you will do next.
★★★★★
This is great give away because you can make several things with it. We use a lot of almond milk here and live a good 35 minute drive to a store. How nice It would be not to Have to worry about running out of milk,
★★★★★
Thanks, Marci! I would LOVE to have this Almond Cow as I am always running out of Almond milk, and would love to be able to make my own in a flash and not have to dash off to the store.! Plus, I hate wasting food, so the idea of being able to use the pulp in other recipes is very appealing! The biggest reason I want the Cow is for the ease of cleanup!! I have made Almond milk in my Vitamix several times, but it never comes out very creamy… your thoughts on that??
★★★★★
I am always looking to make things easy and cheaper. Making but milk eat is such a dream!
Oh my – I would LOVE to win an Almond Cow! I can’t drink dairy (due to lovely tick bite!) and find the hassle of the nut bag keeps sending me back to the store LOL. Keep up the good work- I love your website!
I’m always looking for non-dairy recipes that my 3-year-old daughter would enjoy because we want to keep her hydrated but she doesn’t love plain almond milk or soy milk. And the rest of the family is dairy free so we could all enjoy this together. Would love to make it with the almond cow! Thank you, Marci!! Love your blog.
★★★★★
I would love to win the Almond Cow! I am lactose intolerant, and it would be a blessing to have and exciting to use something new.
I have been following your page since 2018 wirh my first introduction to egg bites. I quickly purchased the mold you recommended and tried to make them. With a bit of trial and error, I got it perfected that the whole family loves it and still make it to this day for my toddler. I quickly became a fan of yours and have made numerous meals with my indtant pot thanks to you (which my picky toddler and husband LOVE).
Fast forward, I am almost 6 months post partum and have had to change my eating habits due to my autoimmune disease (hashimotos) and currently doing AIP (elimination diet) so I have to eliminate many things. I’ve tried to make almond milk since the current brands have so many addictive including gums so i can’t use. It’s been a challenge so i try to make them myself but its time consuming and sometimes i don’t think im doing it right based on taste. I’ve currently got into oat milk since im nursing and would LOVE try have the almond cow to make it easier to make these milks for me and my family. Thank you for introducing us to this product and the Horchata recipe. This will be a tremendous help for this tired mama. Love your page and im glad many of your recipes I can still do with some modifications based on my diet.
I love your website and books, thus looks amazing, thank you so much for all the wonderful, delicious ideas!
★★★★★
The Almond Cow would be such a help, I would love to own one!
We love almond and cashew milk, most of our family is dairy sensitive so a Almond Cow would be a great way to make our own plant based milk with less mess. Thank you for the opportunity to win this great prize.
★★★★★
How exciting! Love trying new things!
My husband loves my IP yogurt I learned to make from your recipe. He recently started to only use almond milk for his cereal. I would love to be able to make him his own that I know would be so much better for him with an Almond Cow!
Thanks for all you do/share, I’ve learned so much!
★★★★★
I like the various other milks. But when I read the additives on the cartons, I usually just put it back. That said, I’ve tried making almond and cashew milks. And ended up with very little product for my effort, and usually a mess!! I’d love to have the Almond Cow. I’ve enjoyed reading the recipes and will use the suggestions for the remaining pulp. Thanks.
I would like to complete my Moooooove over to Nutmilk and Hay, this Almond Cow will sure be a way to put the regular milk out to pasture ize belive that’s true.
★★★★★
we love the instant pot and we buy a lot of almond milk. The almond cow would greatly reduce using containers of milk. It is also healthier.
I make almond milk (and oat milk!) at least once a week, if not more. I’d love to win this and simplify my life so much!
★★★★★
The Almond Cow looks amazing! I do not tolerate dairy well & made the switch to almond milk a while Aton& I’m not looking back! Sadly, I feel like 2 out of 3 of my kids are following suit & likely need to start testing non-dairy alternatives out to see if it’s what I suspect. This would be SO great for our family, thank you for sharing & thank you for the opportunity! By the way , I recently made your pumpkin instant pot oatmeal…YUM! New family favorite, thanks! ❤️
★★★★★
One of my daughters has dairy sensitivity and I tried different ways to make homemade non-dairy milk. And you’re absolutely right – it is tedious job. So great to know about life changing Almond Cow!
Recipe sounds amazing! I love horchata but rarely order it as it’s so high calorie. Definitely going to try this recipe & thanks for the cinnamon stick tip!
★★★★★
Oh my goodness! We love Horchata at my house! I’ve also tried making it – unsuccessfully! There is a restaurant that makes fantastic horchata, if not a bit sweet. But with all the staying home, we haven’t had it but once since February. I love your recipe using dates.
And I have an instant pot, so I’m half way to easy horchata!
★★★★★
I love this recipe. I have a friend who likes Horchata. This would be so fun to mix up and share with him, as well as teaching my kids about something they wouldn’t normally have. Thank you for perfecting the recipe.
★★★★★
I just read your blog and homemade horchata sounds heavenly. I would love to win the Almond Cow.
I would love to win an Almond Cow, because I can know exactly what’s going into my almond milk, Not only would it be fresh, it wouldn’t contain hidden additives. I have had my eye on this for awhile.
I’ve got to try your recipe!
I would love to have an almond cow, because I’m allergic to everything! I can only drink almond milk and stick with one brand and flavor because of all the additives. Being able to only put what I know I can have would be awesome!
My youngest daughter has dairy and corn allergies, so she can’t have store-bought non-dairy milks. I would love to win an Almond Cow because it would really help us out!
I would love to have the Almond Cow as I have problems with regular milk so I always have to purchase almond milk so it was be so nice to be able to make my own easily.
Thank you, Jacky
My youngest daughter is allergic to dairy and corn, so she can’t have any store-bought non-dairy milks. An Almond Cow sure would be helpful!
Hi. Thanks for introducing us to the almond cow. Loved learning about an iten that will save time. So cool.
This looks like an awesome option to make homemade almond milk. I currently buy almond milk at the grocery store but would love add this to my kitchen to make a healthy milk alternative for my family and know exactly all of the ingredients going into the final product.
I have been making almond milk with out vitamin for almost 10years and I feel exactly the same. I hate wronging it out and cleaning the bag. And now since we make shakes every morning for all four of us, I have to make 3xs as much every 3-5 days. The Almond Cow looks like a dream come true!

A recipe for Tigernut Milk (Horchata)…
https://www.deliciousobsessions.com/2015/02/how-to-make-tigernut-milk/
This sounds wonderful, I love horchata but not all the sugar. I wonder if my Euro Cuisine Green Yogurt strainer would work for straining it after blending, instead of getting a nut milk bag?
Yay!!! Finally a horchata recipe that doesn’t require all the extra sugar! What a great idea with the cashews. The Almond Cow would be a great addition to any kitchen. I would love to have one to continue my passion for homemade nut milk.
★★★★★
I would love love to be able to make my own almond milk & try the Horchata plus Almond Cow recipes!!! I can no longer use dairy milk & would use the Almond Cow ♥️ Thank you Marci & Cami
Love almond milk, bit it’s expensive around here. I never thought there was a way to make my own! The Horchata sounds great, especially during these fall afternoons. Thanks!
I know I should start drinking almond milk, but the commercial stuff just doesn’t taste that good to me. Maybe if I made it myself, I would love it and drink it all the time!
What an awesome giveaway. I would love to try the almond cow to make all different types of milk. Trying to go dairy free and this would help tremendously.
I would love to win as my husband and I are trying to live a healthier life as he is battling and winning bladder cancer.
Pick me 🙋♀️I make almond milk all the time and I would love to win this. It would be super fantastic. I love getting your emails with so many tips and recipes! Thank you for taking the time to bless others!
★★★★★
This looks amazing! I just made horchata for the first time, and I had the same problem as you – that gross sludge at the bottom! 😛 I make soy milk for homemade tofu, and the Almond Cow would also make that so much less of a messy hassle – fingers crossed!
Hi Marci,
I’ll be trying this this weekend. Your recipes are fast becoming some if our favorites! I made the instant pot BBQ chicken and sweet potatoes for dinner last night and we loved the flavors. We are going through a heat wave in California and it was wonderful not to heat the house OR stand over a hot grill!
I would love an Almond Cow! I started making but milk a couple of years ago, but recently Ive had to make it more frequently because my daughter is now dairy free. Its a pain to strain and clean up the nutbags! I would love to have one container and clean it up in a simple manner.
Thanks again for all of the wonderful recipes!
Maria
I would love to win the Almond Cow, I like you just end up buying my nut milks because of the hassle
I love horchata so much and super excited to try this recipe! You are seriously my fave instant pot recipe guru. I have also been stalking Almond Cow forever and have had it on my wishlist.. fingers crossed!

I’d love to win an almond cow, it would make the process even easier to make almond milk!! I’ve been making almond milk for years, the almond cow would take it up a notch!
Umm, horchata is one of our family traditions to make at birthday party’s! I wonder what my mama would think of your recipe! I was sold at adding dates instead of sugar!🙌🏼 Can’t wait to make this!
Nancy, You’ll have to let me know how it’s accepted!
I am so excited to try this recipe. My son and husband both love horchata, and I love the no added sugar! So excited!
Wow! This is amazing! Almond Cow- kudos to whoever came up with this idea! I love the fact that it is minimal cleanup with the pulp. My husband drinks almond milk, I love my oat milk. This would make it easier to be able to indulge both of us! Thank you for the opportunity to enter your contest and win an Almond Cow. Looking forward to getting more great ideas!!!!
★★★★★
Hi Marci! So excited to try this recipe. I love horchata, but I can’t tolerate refined sugars so this beverage has been off of my list for years. I’d love to win an almond cow. My side of the family has a long list of food allergies (peanuts, almonds, eggs, soy, gluten, dairy, sugar, just to name a few), so we are always looking for new ways to make things that we used to enjoy. An almond cow seems like an awesome tool to do that! Have you made oat milk or hemp milk with it? I bet it would work for that. Anyway, thanks for your your awesome recipes – I love them!
I would love to try this! I’ve been making my own almond milk in my cheap blender 😂 I want an almond cow so bad!!!
★★★★★
I’m fairly new to the whole Instapot way of cooking. Have made your vanilla extract, and given it away to friends and family, who rave about it. I’d love to win an Almond cow, to make my own almond milk. I purchase almond milk occasionally at the store as a special treat for myself, so would be fun to make my own. I love your recipes and ‘tidbits’. Yours are the only Instapot recipes I have tried. Thank you so much for your continued pursuit of GOOD, workable recipes!
What a great recipe and info…will be reading every single word and definitely making the Horchata!!! Cannot figure out how to sign up to win an Almond Cow…and, of course, when I ordered mine, it was $10 off…so lucky new purchasers!!! LOVE PLAYING WITH MY NEW TOY!!!!!
★★★★★
I have not heard of Horchata before and it sounds wonderful. I am lactose intolerant and stay away from milk. I also have tendinitis and would have problems trying to make the recipe entirely by hand. I would love to win the Almond Cow. It would open up a whole new world of possibilities for me.
★★★★★
Hi, I’ve been looking into making nut milks for a little while. I am trying to eat and drink healthier, trying to get rid of the chemicals and additives in the food that I eat, hoping it will help with some medical issues I have. I am recently widowed and trying to stay healthy for my family. Thank you for this contest and for this website.

My daughter has dairy sensitivity and my husband LOVES horchata. I had no idea I could make Horchata at home! Thanks for your detailed instructions!!! I would love to win your giveaway and make my own dairy free milks and horchata!
My husband LOVES horchata. I had no idea I could make it at home. My daughter also has dai
Love this giveaway, especially as a Labor Day special, freeing up the labor involved. I’d love having this appliance but as a retiree I just cannot afford this extra cost. Here’s hoping I’m a first time winner of anything.
Love the instant pot freezer plan.

My sons favorite drink is horchata. Would love the Almond cow.
Gotta get in on the drawing! I would love to make homemade horchata and nut milks without having the mess of the bag! Sounds very cool. Especially since this month is my horchata-loving son’s birthday!
Thanks for all the great recipes & amazing photos, tips & ideas!
I would love love love to win the Almond Cow! I am a senior citizen still living independently–trying to eat healthy (I used to hand grind my own flour) and this sounds like the best way to have my nut milks without so much clean-up.
Thank you for doing this giveaway!
Thank you for offering this giveaway! I have seen the Almond Cow…it is a bit too pricey for me so right now it is on my wish list. Having had heart issues, my husband is into working toward a better life style for his health and almond milk is a big part of it…in smoothies and oatmeal. I have looked into making it at home, but have been intimidated! This would be perfect for us! Thanks again, Marci!
Hi Marci, I am also a “just water please” at restaurants as drinks quickly up the bill, but have also given in to the desire for a cool creamy Horchata! My husband is immune compromised and follows a gluten free, no dairy, no sugar diet. That is how I discovered your site, and love your recipes. BUT, as excited as I was hearing about the Almond Cow, there is just no way we can afford one as we are on a very tight budget. If it works out that we received your give away one; we would Just be over the moon excited! Thanks for considering and keep giving us those great ideas. We will be trying the Horchata the more labor intensive way.
Tamiko
P.S. I already get your e-mail, but here is my address if you need to reach us about a shiny new Almond Cow! 😁
Thanks for this great giveaway! I’m trying to steer towards a healthier diet and that includes cutting out artificial ingredients and weird chemicals that are often found in store-bought products…I love almond milk but am often hesitant to buy it because of all the weird ingredients found in the store-bought versions, but making it myself is such a chore. The Almond Cow seems like it’d really make the process so much easier!
Would love to have “another” appliance in my house, and the Almond Cow sounds like it would be a fabulous addition.
Right, the pulp squeezing. The Almond Cow would indeed simplify life and would be a much used appliance in my kitchen. Cheers!
★★★★★
Yum!!! I would love to try this recipe!!! I would love to win an Almond Cow! We currently only have a nutribullet and I feel your pain on the small blenders! My boyfriend LOVES horchata! And I love milk alternatives. I currently drink soy and think homemade soy milk would be fabulously in this as well. I also have avoided making it homemade bc of the straining and clean up!! Thank you for the chance!!!! ❤️
★★★★★
I love Horchata! Had it for the first time years ago and was hooked ever since! I am going to look into that Almond Cow machine. I know exactly what you mean about the clean up so anything that could make it as painless as possible is welcomed!
Can’t wait to try your recipe!
★★★★★
We drink Almond Milk daily and I would love to win the Almond Cow. The store bought is ok but nothing like fresh made. Can’t wait to try your recipe for Horchata. My son loves them.
★★★★★
Oh my goodness! I had no idea something like the Almond Cow existed!! We love Almond and Cashew milk at our house, but I have always felt so intimidated at the idea of making our own. I would love an easier and healthier option to store bought nut milks. This would be a game changer for sure! Now, I’m just going to go back to drooling over this Horchata recipe…
★★★★★
I would love to have an Almond Cow to make Almond milk, which my grandkids drink all the time.
Could you use maple syrup instead of dates, adding the syrup in after straining?
