Valencian Orxata (Horchata)

In Valencia, horchata is not made from rice like it is in Mexico, instead it’s made from tigernuts. The tour guide yesterday told us these nuts only grow near Valencia, so you can only get this drink here.

I thought it tasted a little like coconut water, but in a good way (I don’t like coconut water that much, but I loved this drink).
