Tiger Nut Horchata
Tiger Nut Horchata
“If you like rice-based Mexican horchata, I know you’ll appreciate this Spanish-style version just as much. I always drink it when I go back home to Spain. Made from tiger nuts, this beverage is sweet, creamy and refreshing. It’s also packed with health benefits from its key ingredient.”Recipe published with permission courtesy of Nuts.com.
