HORCHATA!... The Famous Drink of Valencia!!!!
The Famous Drink of Valencia…
When I came to Valencia for the first time…
Well It was over one year ago, my goal was to get to know this city as much as It´s possible. I didn´t have too much time, as I was staying here only 7 days! The last day… I thought that I did It… that I saw all the places that I should see and that I revealed all the secret recipes of the Valencian cuisine!
I was convinced about all these things till I saw a sign advertising Horchata. What is that? I thought. I cannot go home without trying It!!!
My impression of Horchata…
At first taste, I instantly thought the drink was old. Not that it was sitting out or tasted bad. But the experience of drinking it just seemed…traditional.
But actually, horchata de chufas (made with tiger nuts, as it is here in Valencia) is an old drink. It dates back to when the Moors were in Spain. It’s very refreshing. And being in the Mediterranean everything is about being refreshed.
I drunk It accompanied with ¨fartón¨ (a confectionary sweet) which was a PERFECT combination!
