Horchata is a ridiculously rich drink that originated in Valencia and is made from Tiger Nuts/Chufa. You can buy it in Horxaterias but it's bloody expensive. You can only have like one glass or could die. In VLC it's called Horxata in their language.
Mexican Horxata is spelt Horchata and is made from rice.
One day King James I was at Valencia while resting war against Muslim Army (thirteenth century) when a maiden approached him to offer a bowl filled with a fresh, white and sweet drink. The King said to the maiden this is gold, baby, whihc in that language sounded like or, chata and there we go. From here Horxata was taken to Valencia from where the King was (probably from AFrica where the Chufa originates).
It is drunk mainly in the summer ice cold with a little pastry which is dunked in.
