In Spain, it usually refers to orxata de xufa (horchata de chufa), made from tigernuts, water, and sugar.
Tigernuts
Originally from Valencia, the idea of making horchata from tigernuts comes from the period of Muslim presence in Valencia (from the eighth to thirteenth centuries).
It has a regulating council to ensure the quality of the product and the villages where it can come from, with the Denomination of Origin. The village of Alboraia is well known for the quality of its horchata.
It is served ice cold as a natural refreshment in the summer, often served with fartons. Tigernut horchata is also used in place of milk by the lactose intolerant.
