You might call it Valencia's version of the milkshake! Made of ground chufa nuts grown in the Valle de Nito in Spain, horchata is sweet and refreshing with a touch of lemon and cinnamon.

Shake well before serving and store for up to 3 days after opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with many other foods in Spain, it was the Moors who first began cultivating chufa grass in Spain and originated the refreshing drink Horchata de Chufa from its tuberous roots.
