Ingredients
-
- Tiger nuts (also known as chufa nuts)
- Water
- Sweetener of choice (such as dates, honey, or sugar)
- Optional flavorings (vanilla extract, cinnamon, or nutmeg)
- Start by rinsing the tiger nuts thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Soak the tiger nuts in water overnight or for at least 8 hours to soften them and make them easier to blend.
- Once soaked, drain the tiger nuts and transfer them to a blender. Add fresh water to the blender, using a ratio of about 1 cup of tiger nuts to 3 cups of water for a creamy consistency. Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender if needed.
- Pour the blended tiger nut mixture through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag into a large bowl or pitcher. Use a spoon or spatula to press down on the mixture, extracting as much liquid as possible. Discard the leftover pulp or save it for other recipes, such as baking or smoothies.
- Taste the strained tiger nut milk and sweeten it to your liking with your choice of sweetener, such as dates, honey, or sugar. Add a splash of vanilla extract for a hint of sweetness, or sprinkle in some cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, cozy flavor.
- Once sweetened and flavored to your preference, chill the tiger nut drink in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the drink to become cold and refreshing. Stir well before serving over ice, and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a slice of lemon if desired.
- Savor the creamy texture and nutty flavor of homemade tiger nut drink as you indulge in its refreshing goodness. Whether enjoyed as a standalone beverage or paired with your favorite snacks or meals, this nutritious drink is sure to delight your taste buds and nourish your body from the inside out.
