TigerNut Drink

Tigernut Drink

Ingredients:

• 2 Cups of Africanada 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)

 

Steps:

1. Hydrate the tiger nut in water and place it in the refrigerator (to avoid fermentation) for 24-48 hours (you can use the Africanada tiger nut flour to cut your prep time down)
   
   
2. Pit the dates and chop them into pieces
   
   
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.
   
   
6. You will need a strainer or a cheesecloth
   
   
7. Pour the blended mixture into the cheesecloth/strainer/mesh and sieve the content.
   
   
8. Make sure you rinse out the blender and sieve everything together.
   
   
9. Pour in a jar/ bottled and refrigerate. When you’re ready to drink add cinnamon powder or one-two drops of vanilla essence but this is optional.
   
   
10. Tigernut drink is good to drink up within a day but that being said It can stay in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
    
    
11. Serve and enjoy!
