[edit] History?

Is it true that this drink originally came from Mexican cuisine?

No. I am not clear on the definitive history of rice milk in general, but even Horchata itself is of Spanish, not Mexican, origin. The Latin word hordeum, for barley, is the root of Horchata, as far as I know. There was a medieval form of "barley-water", flavored with almonds, known variously as orgemonde, orgeat, or orzata in different parts of Europe. Eventualy, in Spain, horchata de arroz, made of rice, (actual)milk, and sugar, was developed, and variations of the recipe were imported to the new world. Tenmiles 19:46, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
