Nothing is as delicious, fulfilling and refreshing as a home-made beverage most especially Tigernut Beverage.
In Nigeria, Tigernut is found in abundance in the northern part of the country where it is grown and cultivated. So its readily available, that’s why we could transform it to something so refreshing.
Tigernut milk is extracted from the nuts of Tigernut. It is processed using the blender or food processor after it has been soaked overnight to soften it, it is then ground until it is smooth. The amount of water added determines how concentrated you want it, i prefer mine very creamy so i use less water.
After water is added to the paste, use a clean cheese cloth to extract the milk, and your milk is ready. I love adding Date while processing as a sweetener(i have a sweet tooth?), you can use any sweetener of your choice or be taken just like that.
Researchers said that it has a whole lot of nutrients and contains as much calcium as Cow’s milk which is a more preferred dairy for Vegans (please you can check that up)
With Tigernut, nothing is a waste. The paste can also be used in making pancakes, to make it more fluffy and sweet, i add mashed ripped plantain and egg. The taste is unimaginable, you should try it out.
