Horchata de Chufa is a popular refreshing summer drink in Spain. Blogger Audrey also likes to use this unconventional milk in smoothies and with breakfast.

This Spanish dessert is delightfully simple to make. Vegan rice pudding flavoured with citrus zest and cinnamon makes this a comforting and creamy dessert you don't want to miss.
