Kunu Aya (Tiger Nut Drink) Nigerian style

Soak the tiger nuts and dates in clean water overnight if you are using dried tiger nuts and dates

Rinse the soaked tiger nuts or fresh tigernut and place them in a blender. Remove the seeds from the dates, wash them, and add to the blender.

Peel and dice the coconut flesh, then add it to the blender along with the skinned ginger. Add a little water or coconut water and blend until smooth.

Using a pap or cheesecloth, strain the milk into a bowl. The first milk strained will be thick. Place the chaff back into the blender, add more water, blend, and strain again until all the milk is extracted. Ensure the drink is not too light for better taste.

Place the extracted milk drink in a refrigerator to chill.

Serve cold.
