- 1 cup tiger nuts
- 3 cups water for tiger nut milk
- 1 cup tamarind
- 1 cup warm water for tamarind paste
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Preparation
Soak 1 cup of tiger nuts in water overnight.

Peel and clean the tamarind.
Soak the tamarind in 1 cup of warm water for 1 hour.
Push the soaked tamarind and water through a sieve to remove seeds and make paste; store the paste in the fridge for 2-3 days.
