Steps

1 hour 15 minutes

1

Place the tiger nuts in a bowl and cover them generously with water to hydrate.
2

Let them soak for 24 hours. If the water level drops, add more as needed.
3

Drain the tiger nuts well.
4

Pour part of the water into a blender and add the tiger nuts. Blend, gradually adding more water as you go.
5

Once the tiger nuts are completely blended, strain the mixture. Place a strainer over a bowl and line it with a clean cotton or linen cloth. Pour the mixture through the cloth to catch any fine particles.
6

Gather the cloth into a ball and squeeze firmly to extract as much liquid as possible.
7

Pour the remaining water into the cloth and squeeze again until the tiger nut pulp is dry.
8

Add the sugar to the horchata and stir well until it dissolves.
9

Chill the horchata in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours. Serve very cold.
