TigerNut Drink

Course Drinks
Prep Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Tiger nut
  • 1 Big Coconut flesh (chopped) optional
  • 1/2 Cup Dates (chopped); use more or less
  • 1 Teaspoon Ginger (minced) optional
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla essence/cinnamon powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Hydrate the tiger nut in water and place it in the refrigerator (to avoid fermentation) for 24-48 hours. If you're using fresh tiger nut just rinse, pick any dirt and blend with water you want to add.

  2. Pit the dates and chop them into pieces, I’m using pitted so I don’t need to do that.

  3. Break up the coconut and cut it into small pieces

  4. Drain the tiger nut (if you're using dried ones) and rinse again. If there are black/bad tiger nuts among the ones you soaked pick them out.

  5. Blend the tiger nut, coconut, dates together with water. Making sure the water is enough just to cover the tiger nuts and other ingredients. Don't be tempted to add a lot of ginger so it won't overpower the drink.
