What do you really expect from a 15 minute food guide ? Obviously there are going to be shortcuts to get that time. I do agree that it should be labeled Mexican-inspired dishes or something.
I am unaware of the version from Spain, but even in Mexico this drink is made from whole grain rice that has soaked overnight, condensed milk, and real cinnamon sticks. Many of these recipes are not authentic food.
It makes me laugh to see the responses to these recipes, Mexican food has ALOT of different "varieties" of the same dish or drink. So it really depends on what part of Mexico you are having the horchata. My grandma made her horchata with NO milk, some people used condensed milk, others use whole milk. Passing judgement on people by the vocabulary they use is childish, horchata is good no matter how you make it.
The Horchata in Spain is made with a tuber called "chufa" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyperus_esculentus); not made with rize, nor anything.
La horchata española se hace con chufas, no con arroz, ni con ningún otro cereal. Parece que el que creó la receta confundió Tijuana con Valencia, y eso que están separadas por el Océano Atlántico.
