Procedure for Making Tigernut Milk/Kunu Aya

Tigernut milk, also known as Kunu Aya, is a type of plant-based milk made from the tuberous root of the Cyperus esculentus plant, also known as tiger nuts or earth almonds. Tigernuts are a good source of fibre, vitamins, and minerals, and are naturally sweet and nutty in flavour.

To make tiger nut milk, the tiger nuts are soaked in water overnight to soften and then blended with fresh water until smooth. The mixture is then strained through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any solids, resulting in creamy and slightly sweet milk.

Tigernut milk can be enjoyed as a dairy-free alternative to cow’s milk in a variety of ways, such as in cereal, smoothies, or coffee. It is also a popular ingredient in West African cuisine, particularly in Nigeria, where it is often served as a refreshing beverage.
