Ingredients

Dry tiger nut

Coconut

Dates/dabino

Ginger (optional)

Water

 

Method

Soak the dry tiger nut in a generous quantity of cold water for 24 hours. After the soaking, wash the nuts properly and sort out the bad ones.

Proceed to soak the dates for 10 minutes to soften it and remove the seed inside, thereafter, chop the coconuts into smaller chunks. Also, peel the ginger and cut into small pieces.

Then it’s time to blend. Add the coconut, date, tiger nut, ginger and water into your blender and blend.

If the quantity is much, use a grinding machine instead so you don›t over work your blender.

After blending, use a chiffon cloth or strainer to filter the milk out, continue straining until you’ve collected all the milk that you possibly can.

Pour into any jar or bottle of your choice and refrigerate. Serve chilled and enjoy your tiger nut milk.
