Yes, I have had it there too (and I know well, Madrid's summer's can be brutal! It's just originally from Valencia hence mentioning that).

It's a very popular drink in Madrid's cafes during the summer months to combat the sweltering heat. It's served very chilled!

It's not something I have tried - so Mexican horchata powder is not simply rice flour, as if you used flour it would make a much thicker drink. I think typically horchata powder has a relatively high portion of dried milk in there so you get the creaminess but it's less dense. Using tiger nut flour I imagine would be the same thing - it will naturally be fairly thick for the amount you would probably need to get it to have the taste. You could maybe try to balance that out with some ready-made nut milk or dried milk to make a little thinner, but it clearly won't be quite the same. I'm also not sure if you might get a slight grainy texture or not, as I don't know how well it dissolves, but you could maybe use cheesecloth and a very fine strainer to strain any solids.

Can you use the tiger nut flour to make the Spanish horchata? I ask because the Mexican horchata that uses white rice, they have a ready to use rice powder especially to make horchata. And tiger nut flour is pretty easy to find now in the US.

I came across your page while I was reseraching horchata recipes discovering the original came from the Moors when they conquered Spain, and was altered when the Spanish arrived in America. Its so delicious!! My wife is from Mexico and is loving it.
Also I've been exploring and writing down several recipes from your page, making my notes to make new things. You describe things very well regarding pros and cons of substituions and using one thing or another. Love it.

Glad you enjoyed! I wonder if maybe when you strained it you got a bit more solids in the mixture and that's what led it to be more gelatinous the next day?

What did I do wrong? I used the same ratio of nuts to water that you have here.

Each serving is around 1 cup so 8 ounces.

So I haven't tried myself, but I believe you can use it a bit like a flour and blended in with flours/grains eg in pancakes or mixed in with oatmeal.

My Kingdom for a glass of horchata! Just got my tiger nuts from Amazon and already soaking them for tomorrow.
Thanks for the recipe!

I haven't tried so not really sure, though I don't really see a reason why not.

They are definitely less well known, but I actually found some in a local, larger supermarket and they are available online too. And they are worth trying, especially in this refreshing drink.
