Game-changing Tigernut Milk

What’s Inside: This easy 3-ingredient tigernut milk is way tastier than any dairy-free milk in my opinion… it’s nut-free, AIP-friendly, and basically doubles as vegetable juice because, despite its name, tigernuts are actually root vegetables (or, tubers) and packed with healthy fiber. The secret ingredient makes it extra special.

How do you make tigernut milk at home?

With a little preparation (pre-soaking to soften the tigernuts), and the right equipment… you’ll have your new favorite dairy-free milk that’s grain-free and nut-free. It’s comparable in taste to oat or almond milk, but way better… especially with my secret ingredient.

I use The Nutramilk as my favorite milk and butter maker but you can also use a high-speed blender like a Vitamix or similar and a nut milk bag or fine mesh sieve for this recipe.

The basic ratio is 1 cup tigernuts to 4 cups liquid and strain! Store it in an airtight container like a mason jar and it’ll keep for 5 days or so in the fridge (assuming it lasts that long because you’ll love it so much).

I love to use this milk cold or heated and frothed up in a latte (like this one for AIP) or my daily matcha.

Are tigernuts healthy?

I loved using tigernuts in flour form for baking, cooking, and whole just for snacking as a nut alternative. They’re rich in prebiotic starch and fiber which is essential for feeding good gut bacteria. It’s a great way to switch up your fibers.

Tigernuts taste a little nutty and sweet, they remind me of oats or almonds if they had a very gifted baby!

Key Ingredients

• Tigernuts
• Filtered Water
• Coconut Water (my favorite brand is Harmless Harvest, I wouldn’t recommend a shelf-stable brand, only refrigerated) – this is optional and you can use all water, but this is my secret ingredient!
