Have you ever taken a cold glass of tigernut drink on a hot afternoon and instantly felt refreshed? That creamy, sweet taste always hits differently.
Now imagine making it even richer, creamier, and sweeter with a simple twist that makes every sip feel homemade and special.
Grab a seat, let’s talk about how to add a fun little twist to your everyday Tigernut drink, using two humble ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen:
Tiger Ginger and Tiger Nutmeg.
Ingredients:
1. Tiger nuts (Fresh or soaked dry nuts).
2. Dates (Dabino, to add natural sweetness).
3. Coconut (extracted coconut milk).
4. Tiger Ginger (Just a little bit, to give it that nice spicy kick).
5. Tiger Nutmeg (for a sweet, nutty, and cosy aroma that makes it smell like a freshly baked treat).
6. Water.
Here are the 5 Simple Steps to making that Sweet TigerNut Drink.
Step 1: Wash and Soak
Wash and soak your tiger nuts in water overnight so they become soft and fat.
Step 2: Clean the Dates and Coconut
Remove the seeds from your dates (dabino) and the coconut from the shell.
Step 3: Blend Everything
Put the softened tiger nuts, dates, and the coconut. Add water. Blend it until it looks very smooth and creamy.
Friendly Tip: Don't pour all the water at once. Add a little at a time so your blender doesn't struggle.
Step 4: Sieve
Pour the mixture into a clean cloth or a very fine sieve.
Squeeze out all that white and creamy liquid.
Step 5: The Tweak
Now, this is where the magic happens!
Pour in a pinch of Tiger Nutmeg and Tiger Ginger into the creamy milk and stir it thoroughly.
Pour it into a clean bottle or jar and chill it in your fridge.
How to Serve It
It's perfect:
• As a refreshing drink after a hot afternoon in the sun.
• Paired with some roasted groundnuts or spicy kuli-kuli for a crunchy, sweet contrast.
Why the Upgrade?
Look, original tigernut milk is already amazing on its own.
It is naturally sweet, creamy, and filling.
But sometimes, you want that extra feeling, right?
Trust me, once you add that Tiger Ginger and Tiger Nutmeg, you will never want to drink plain tigernut milk again.
