Horchata
Horchata (/ɔːrˈtʃɑːtə/; Spanish: [oɾˈtʃata] (listen)), or orxata (Valencian: [oɾˈʃata]), is a name given to various kinds of plant milk beverages of similar taste and appearance. It originated at least as far back as 13th-century Valencia, where it is known as chufa horchata. In Spain it is made with soaked, ground, and sweetened tiger nuts, but in Mexico and other parts of the Americas the base is white rice. In West African countries such as Nigeria and Mali, it is known as kunnu aya. Different varieties can be served hot or cold, and it is even used as a flavour in other beverages, such as frappé coffee.
