Rice Dream Horchata

I was pretty excited yesterday when I saw a carton of Rice Dream Horchata among all the other non-dairy products at my supermarket. Apparently the stuff was released last spring. It's no surprise that it's finally filtered down into the markets here in Florida. Now, I normally don't get excited over dairy substitutes, but I like horchata, and since the real stuff is often made with rice, I figured Rice Dream had a fair shot at making a good version. Really though, it just tastes like Rice Dream with cinnamon. Not that that's a bad thing. If you don't have a Hispanic market in your area and you're dyin' for some horchata, this will definitely suffice.

im sorry to tell you, but horchata isnt made out of rice, its made out of the root of Cyperus esculentus AKA chufa in spanish, and is very common of the valencia region of spain, what you are describing is a desert called Aroz con leche (rice with milk),

There was a place near my house that sold vegan horchata that was delicious, but I only had it there once and then it disappeared. I'll have to keep my eye open at the grocery store for this one.

I know that the term 'horchata' refers to plenty of different drinks. It's also made with tigernuts in Spain, correct? There is, however, a traditional Mexican drink called horchata that is made from rice.
