How much powder goes in the jug
The pouch tells you how many servings are in it. It does not tell you how much goes in a two quart jug on a Tuesday, and that is the number everybody actually wants.

Agua Fresca Marzipan
Mazapan in a glass, peanut and sweet
From $24.99Price shown at our last check and set by the store, not by us.
Think of the crumbly round candy wrapped in clear plastic at the corner shop. We ground that familiar flavor into a powder you stir right into cold water. Roasted peanuts carry the drink, milk gives it body, and a trace of coffee cuts through the richness. It is sweet and thick. You drink this cold over plenty of ice when the afternoon calls for a treat.
Made for hot afternoons when someone asks what sweet drink is in the fridge.

A serving here is a weight, not a glass. We divide the pouch by the number of servings printed on it, so the grams add up whatever size cup you drink from.
What goes into it
Toasted peanut base
The powder smells like hot peanuts right out of the comal. We grind them fine so they disperse in cold water, leaving a rich, nutty drink that stays thick in the glass without clumping.
Quiet coffee note
A touch of real coffee sits behind the milk and nut oils. It does not turn the glass into an iced latte, but it cuts the heavy sweet finish so you reach for another sip.
Stirred cold with ice
Whisk a scoop into cold water and pour it over ice. It drinks creamy like the candy itself, rich enough that some folks add an extra splash of water to stretch the jug.
Straight dessert glass
This is the sweetest agua fresca in our cupboard. Kids ask for it by name and adults treat it like a liquid postre after a heavy Sunday lunch when nobody wants to bake.

Horchata on water or on milk
Both are real answers, and people argue about it because both taste like the horchata they grew up with. What follows is what actually changes in the glass.
