Tigernut milk is a plant milk made by blending tigernuts in water. The tigernut milk has a creamy texture and nutty flavor.
The hardest part is just remembering to soak the tigernuts the night before. Here’s how you make it:

• Soak 1 cup of tigernuts overnight, then drain and rinse;
• Add the tigernuts and 4 cups of water (plus any sweeteners) to a high-powered blender;
• Blend on high for a minute;
• Pour into a storage container and refrigerate.

Drink the tigernut milk straight up or use it in a recipe as you would any dairy milk.

Many people are intolerant to milk sugar (lactose intolerant) and unable to completely digest it. Undigested lactose passes down to the colon where it is fermented by the resident bacteria, leading to excessive gas, bloating, diarrhea and associated discomfort.
