This Cardamom Rose Water Horchata is a nut-free and dairy-free milk alternative that brings the elegance and flavour of the Middle East to any breakfast table.
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Pour the tiger nuts, 1 cup freshly boiled water and 1 cup filtered water, crushed cardamom pods, sea salt, ground cinnamon, and organic ginger essential oil into a large mixing bowl and give a quick stir. Leave to soak in the water for 12-24 hours, or until softened.
  2. Transfer the tiger nuts, soaking water, and cardamom pods into your Froothie Optimum Blender (or high-powered blender). Add 1 cup of filtered water (necessary to allow even blending) and select the nut milk function. The tiger nuts should process until they form a smooth paste.
  3. Next spoon your paste into a nut milk bag, press it through and squeeze over a large bowl. Squeeze out as much liquid as you physically can until you just have pulp left in the bag. Don't throw away the pulp! You can use this to make tiger nut flour, cookies, brownies, and other delicious treats. (Stay tuned for my tiger nut flour recipe!)
  4. Add another 1 cup of filtered water, your rose water, and vanilla powder to the horchata, stir thoroughly, and transfer to an airtight container. Store for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. (I use the VARDAGEN clear glass carafe with lid from IKEA, which costs between £2-3 depending upon the size you buy!)
  5. Serve over ice with a sprinkling of dried rose petals for the ultimate elegant summer drink!
Notes
*Please note that total prep time includes a 12 hour soaking period.
**All cup measurements used are UK cup measurements and so 1 cup = 250ml.
