In Person Education Building Classroom These classes take place In-Person in the Education Building Classroom

$75 Non-Member / $60 Member

Summer heat is serious business in Sonora, and so is the business of staying cool. Learn how to cool off Sonoran style with an endlessly variable rice horchata, agua de jamaica – with some bonus tips on how to spin it into a delicious cocktail – and how to make a brain-freezingly cold raspado de tamarindo, tamarind shredded ice, topped with sweetened condensed milk.
