It’s originally a Spaniard drink, done with something called Chufa. The Mexican variant apparently is an imitation using rice as a replacement. Being in Europe I’d go for the real thing tbh.
It tastes like sweet almond milk, kinda, probably because chufa is called ground almond in english. You might get a similar taste if you mix rice and almond milk but don’t tell any Valencian I said that.
The recipe u/pelespirit posted looks legit. I would tend to use less sugar. Cinnamon and vanilla are key. Whole milk will give a creamier texture, but that’s a matter of taste. Some athletes use a combo of water, carbs, protein. Horchata is like an old school version of this, fwiw.
The fact that you will be nearer to the place where the real horchata is made? The Mexican horchata is an imitation of the one made with Chufa in Spain.
I live in Indiana and have never seen a single one. There are a few crappy Greek places that serve gyros, but they don’t have the whole vertical rotisserie thing, which I feel is a pretty big part of it
Cold enough that you don’t need ice but you’d probably still want some. They used to do this thing for like $7 a month you could get a drink everyday. I was putting down 44oz of horchata every day.
You cab get it from mexican restaurants normally. Stuff can be life saving ♥️
I am in Europe and in a rural area, so no Mexican restaurants around. I found a lot of recipes and just want to try some that other people like.

It’s a European drink, from the Valencia region of Spain. You might find it in Spanish restaurants or shops maybe.

This is my only fear with moving to Europe

I don’t care much about horchata. I need my tacos.
Can confirm. Am European, never had a taco
Did have some great burritos, though
Watch out. You ask for a tortilla and the Spaniards may give you one
The lack of Mexican restaurants? Be the change you want to see in the world.
Fantastic kebab places though
I’ve always wanted to try kebab/döner. Pretty much impossible to find in the US outside of large cities.
Wait, does bumfuck not have gyros/schwarma/doner/donairs where you are?

Weird, ohio had them all over
Same (Bayern, Germany) we have a “Tex-Mex” place about an hour away from here. It belongs to an Ami, so I guess I just lucked out xD
The circle k near me has it at the fountain. Its not the best but you can get a xlarge for $1.
What now?! That sounds like a dream! Is it cold? I was in Egypt at a resort and they had giant glass vases full of it 🤤
