If you are one of those who are yet to taste tiger nut milk, or you don’t even know how prepare it yourself, here is an opportunity for you to get it done yourself right in your home. But let’s first get a glimpse of what tiger nut milk is before we go on with the tutorial.

Tiger nut milk is a healthy non dairy alternative for vegetarians. Many of them stick with soy milk and coconut milk not knowing that tiger nut milk even possess more nutritional benefits. Asides being healthy, the drink is also delicious. In this tutorial, you will see simple steps on how to make tiger nut milk in your kitchen.

Get all the equipment ready and follow the procedure step by step.

Equipments Needed

Ø  A powerful blender

Ø  Muslin clothe

Ø  A plastic container with lid

Procedure

Ø  Wash the raw tiger nuts properly in running water until very clean. 1kg of the tubers will be enough to make tiger nut milk for a family of five.

Ø  The next thing is to pour the clean tiger nuts into a plastic container and add enough water to cover the tubers up and place the lid over it.

Ø  After the above step, you will place the container in a refrigerator and allow it to stay for 48hrs.  You could decide to keep it for 72hours. The longer you allowed the tubers to absolve water and soften the better. The reason for keeping in the refrigerator is to avoid fermentation of the tubers which will alter the taste.

Ø  After 48hrs, retrieve the container, strain water away and remove the deteriorated tubers. Wash properly again under running water.

Ø  Now you will pour the tiger nuts into a powerful blender and add enough water that will allow the blades to move and blend the tubers. You could add more water in this process to obtain your preferred consistency.

Ø  The second to the last step is to pour the thick solution over a muslin clothe and completely strain out the milk. You could add more water to the chaff in order to strain out more milk.

Ø  The last step is to add other ingredients to it based on your preference. I personally love to enjoy the natural and refreshing taste. Keep in the refrigerator or add some ice and enjoy.
