Exactly! When a (vegan) person I met discovered horchata (‘de chufa’, there are other drinks called ‘horchata’) they commented on using it as their new plant-based milk and I said ‘not so fast! This is basically sugar!’ but then I read the nutritional info on their oat (I think) ‘milk’ and was like ‘never mind… this is the same’.
On a side note I didn’t know tiger nut is English for ‘chufa’ which is the (nick) name of my dog. I’m gonna start calling her Tiger nut, it sure suits her!
Neither agree nor disagree, but some people would freak out if they saw Horchata as “tiger nut milk”.

I mean, you can get oat milk without sugar, but it just doesn’t taste like milk, because cow milk contains a lot of sugar as well…
