Soak tiger nuts for 24 hrs, in water – enough to cover the Tiger Nuts by about 2 inches (about 1 quart), in a large bowl. Strain the tiger nuts & reserve the soaking liquid.
Note: You can use a fine sieve, cheese cloth, nylon or a nut milk bag, to strain the tiger nuts.
Use a slotted spoon & add the soaked tiger nuts into the blender, along with half of the soaking liquid. Also, add in the whole cinnamon stick & half the sugar. Blend very well, until smooth & creamy.
Pour the mixture into a sieve or nut milk bag, to separate the liquid from the solids. With a spoon, your hand or spatula, squeeze any extra liquid through the sieve.
Place the solids back into the blender, along with the remaining soaking liquid & a pinch of sea salt, and blend well blended, until smooth.
Once again, strain the mixture & squeeze the remaining solids, to extract all the liquid possible.
The remaining solids should be saved & can be added to cookie dough, a pie crust, or can be added to your pet’s food for added nourishment.
Combine the liquids from both strainings, give it a quick taste test, and adjust the spice & sweetness levels, as desired. Refrigerate for a couple of hours, up to as long as 3 days.
Give your horchata a good stir, and serve over ice with a dusting of cinnamon, a slice of orange citrus, and mojito mint, as garnish.
In order to turn this already delicious beverage into a kicked up, adult, hard horchata version, add 1 0z of coconut rum and about 3 oz of the stirred horchata preparation, to each cocktail. Stir, shake over ice & strain into a suitable glass. Grind a bit of cinnamon over the top of the drink, add a slice of orange citrus, and a sprig of fresh mojito mint.
Note: In this recipe, I garnished our horchata with a slice of mandora orange, but any orange citrus will do. If you don’t have mojito mint, you may use any mint you prefer or have in your garden.
