Instructions
- Place the tiger nuts in a bowl and cover with water and a layer above them, around the first 2cups/480ml listed above. Place in the fridge and leave to soak for 18-24 hours.
- After soaking, drain and rinse the soaked tiger nuts well.
- Place the tiger nuts in a blender with half of the second lot of water (ie around 1 cup/240ml). Blend well until the tiger nuts are broken up and the mixture looks milky and frothy.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve, collecting the liquid, then transfer the tiger nut mixture back to the blender. Add the remaining water, cinnamon and lemon zest and blend again.
- Strain the mixture again, adding the liquid in with the first liquid you strained. Press down on the tiger nut grains with the back of a spoon or spatula to get as much liquid out of them as you can then discard the solids.
- Chill the mixture until needed and/or serve with some ice. You can top the glass with a dusting of cinnamon for garnish, if you like.
Notes
- Note you can also use a food processor to blend the mixture if you don't have a blender but make sure you blend it well to break up the tiger nuts as much as possible. With a high-power blender you may not feel you need to blend twice, but instead all at once. But still be sire to press down on the solids as you strain them.
- The tiger nut milk doesn't keep all that long once blended, so would recommend drinking within a day.
