Strawberry Horchata
Strawberry horchata is at once creamy and light, with bright notes of fresh berries tempered by the milky sweetness of tigernuts and almonds.
Ingredients
- ½ cup tigernuts
- ½ cup almonds
- 4 cups hot water
- 2 cups hulled and coarsely chopped strawberries
- jaggery (or brown sugar)
Instructions
- Pour tigernuts and almonds into the pitcher of a high-powered blender. Cover them with hot water, and allow them to soak overnight at room temperature, at least 8 and up to 12 hours.
- Add the strawberries to the blender, and blend the fruit, tigernuts and nuts together with the soaking water at two minutes.
- Strain the horchata through cheesecloth and into a pitcher. Stir in jaggery or honey to sweeten the horchata to your liking. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill, and serve over ice. Strawberry horchata will keep up to one week.
