3. Tigernut milk recipe:
Once the tigernuts have been removed from the soil, cleaned and selected, they are placed in a solution with salt. When introduced into this brine, defective tubers that have been attacked by insects or microorganisms have a lower density. These defective truffles float and are eliminated.
Later, all the tigernuts that have passed the first selections are washed with several immersions in drinking water, until the tigernut absorbs enough water and swells. Once they have been thoroughly washed and disinfected with chlorine, they are ground.
The ground pasta, together with a few litres of water, is left to macerate for a few hours. Finally it is sieved, allowing to separate the solid remains from the liquid and in this way we have achieved the horchata.

5. Frequently asked questions
Among the questions we are frequently asked are the following:
How long can we leave the bottle open?
Once you have opened the bottle, you should put it in the fridge. In my experience, nothing happened to the concentrated horchata for a month. Another thing is when the mixture is prepared for consumption, in which case it should be consumed within 24 hours.
I would like the horchata to be less sweet.
We have spoken to the producer about this, and they are looking for other natural preservatives to replace the sugar. However, at the moment, the horchata has to have this concentration of sugar, as other ingredients that would give the same texture to the horchata would make the final price much higher.
