    i have never heard of this thing and wikipedia lists like 18 different varieties, one of which is apparently bright red.

    but it sounds like… sweetened almond milk?

      The Mexican version is what’s most commonly drunk in the US, which just tastes like sweetened milk with cinnamon to me.
      But Spanish horchata (the original) is way better. It’s basically a nut milk made with tiger nuts and it tastes awesome. I’ve tried so hard to find tiger nuts but they’re impossible to get where I live :(

      It just sounds like a milk alternative, not that big a deal. This is like seeing somebody going crazy for leche.
