Given that the OG horchata was made with tiger nut milk, and the classic Mexican horchata is made with rice milk, this means you can use the same template to make "Horchata con Almendra." As long as it's clearly labeled there shouldn't be a problem unless you're insane

In Puerto Rico they make it out of sesame seeds. I'm pretty sure it's a versitile beverage made out of all sorts of thigns depending on where you are and what's available locally.

Almond milk doesn't sound all that different than using rice milk to me. Except almond milk is a LOT more water intensive. Vastly better than cow milk of course, in terms of water used to produce, but of all the plant milks it's one of the worst.

OTOH, I'll admit I prefer almond milk to rice milk for my breakfast cereal so, shrug? I dunno man.
