Today I´m going to show you guys how to make

an authentic Spanish Horchata

known as Horchata de Chufas

chufas translates to tiger nuts

now Horchata originates from the town of Alboraya

which is like 45 minutes from where I live

Horchata is such a refreshing drink

and it packs so many healthy benefits to it

thanks to the tiger nuts which are a super food

ok you guys do not want to miss this one

because this horchata is super easy to make

to make this horchata we just need 5 simple ingredients

2 cups of tiger nuts

tiger nuts used to be difficult to find in the past

but now online

you can find them easily all over the world

even amazon.com sells them

I´m going to leave my affiliate link

in the description box below

we´re also going to need 4 1/2 cups of water

2 tablespoons of white sugar

a 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon powder

and some fresh lemon zest

the first thing we´re going to do

is add our 2 cups of tiger nuts

into a bowl and soak them with water for 24 hours

this is going to help the tiger nuts soften

which will make it a lot easier

for them to release their milk

ok i´ve already had my tiger nuts soaking for 24 hours

now I´m going to drain them

rinse them under cold water

and add 1/2 of them into a blender

now we´re going to add 1/2 of our water

I have 4 1/2 cups of cold water here

so I´m going to add about 2 1/4 cups

and then blend it for about 1 minute

then I´m going to add the remainder of the tiger nuts

the remainder of the water

the 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon powder

and some fresh lemon zest

and blend everything together until it´s well combined

once you have everything well blended

you want to run the mixture through a sieve

and into a bowl

and using a wooden spoon

you want to push down on the mixture

to release all that extra liquid

once your done

you can discard what you have in the sieve

now we´re going to transfer the horchata into a pitcher

we´ll add the 2 tablespoons of sugar

and mix it until it´s well combined

the horchata is done

now I´m going to add it into the fridge

for at least 3 hours to let all the flavors develop

and remember

you always want to serve this very chilled

ok its been a little over 3 hours

since I added the horchata into the fridge

at this point it´s ready to go

I´m going to take it out give it a quick mix

pour some in a glass for presentation

and let you know how it turned out

ok now I´m going to give this a try...Salud!

it´s so good

it´s refreshing

the flavors from the tiger nuts

you get a little bit of that cinnamon on there

which is not very traditional

but I like to add just that little bit

just to uplift the favors

such a fantastic drink
