Equipment
- 1 Blender for blending and juicing out the tiger nut milk
Ingredients
- 1 cup dried tiger nuts. Use fresh or dried tiger nuts. Soak dried tiger nuts overnight in water before blending for the smoothest most creamy milk. Available at African grocery stores, health food stores or online on Amazon
- 1 medium Coconut. Use fresh coconut meat for the richest most aromatic flavor — adds natural creaminess, healthy fats and a subtle tropical sweetness that elevates your tiger nut milk significantly beyond the basic version
- 4 cups ice water. Use ice cold water for blending; cold water produces a fresher crisper tasting tiger nut milk and helps maintain the natural flavor of all ingredients during blending.
- 1/2 cup Dates Use fresh Medjool dates for the richest natural sweetness. Remove the pit before blending. Dates naturally sweeten your tiger nut milk without any refined sugar making this drink completely guilt free
- 1 root Optional: Ginger root. Use fresh ginger peeled and grated for the most vibrant warming flavor — adds a subtle heat that perfectly balances the natural sweetness of the tiger nuts and dates.
Instructions
- Soak the tiger nuts and dates overnight in enough water to cover them. This softens them for easier blending.
- Drain and rinse the tiger nuts.
- Blend with fresh ice water until smooth and creamy.
- Strain using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any pulp. Meanwhile, you can save the pulp for smoothies or baking.
- Flavor with ginger. Chill for a refreshing drink.
