        The recipe u/pelespirit posted looks legit. I would tend to use less sugar. Cinnamon and vanilla are key. Whole milk will give a creamier texture, but that’s a matter of taste. Some athletes use a combo of water, carbs, protein. Horchata is like an old school version of this, fwiw.

        It’s a European drink, from the Valencia region of Spain. You might find it in Spanish restaurants or shops maybe.

        It’s originally a Spaniard drink, done with something called Chufa. The Mexican variant apparently is an imitation using rice as a replacement. Being in Europe I’d go for the real thing tbh.

        It tastes like sweet almond milk, kinda, probably because chufa is called ground almond in english. You might get a similar taste if you mix rice and almond milk but don’t tell any Valencian I said that.

        Same (Bayern, Germany) we have a “Tex-Mex” place about an hour away from here. It belongs to an Ami, so I guess I just lucked out xD
