wow, how fascinating!
I think Korea has something like this too, a cold rice soupy dessert, called sik-hae.

My husband is Mexican so he grew up on horchata. I have embraced pretty much everything from the Mexican culture, with two very (disturbing to my husband) exceptions....menudo and horchata. I just never could develop a taste for it. On the other hand, give a banana licuado (or better yet, Corona) and I'm in heaven! :)

There's another really good South American drink like this that's made with quinoa, milk and strawberries. It's very light and equally as good for a morning drink as it is after dinner, plus you get a lot of protein from the quinoa. I *think* it's about 3 cups milk, a cup of quinoa (cooked) and a pint or so of strawberries thrown in the blender.

i should have looked out for this while I was in san francisco last week. i'm impressed you made it yourself. you know, you should post links to cookbooks on amazon if you write about them. yeah, okay, I happen to work for the company that publishes the dummies books, so I'm biased, but i'm a blogger too, and so I understand both sides. publishers REALLY like it when you post links to their books. it's nice for the authors too.

And the Sanchez version is dairy free!

I saw an Iron Chef episode recently where someone (Mario Batali?) made horchata with wild rice instead of white rice. It came out this cool purple color.
