Tiger Nut Horchata Recipe

Last Update: September 28, 2022

While Mexican horchata is made from white rice, traditional Spanish horchata uses tigernuts, nutty tubers with a flavor similar to coconuts. Soaking them overnight gives the sweet drink a thick, creamy texture. An added bonus? They’re perfectly suited to raw and Paleo diets.
