Anyone know a good source for authentic horchata (from "tiger nuts"), aka tiger nut milk ?

I was going to post in Vegetarian/Vegan/Animal Rights but was afraid the "tiger nuts" might be misintreperted, and shaming would follow ...

There's a lot of commercial "horchata" made only from rice, or sometime w/added almonds, and I can make that myself (and have). I'd like to find something that's closer to what I tried several years ago in a small restaurant catering to foodies, w/a Latin emphasis. Their horchata was made from a traditional Mesoamerican nut-based recipe, IIRC; "tiger nuts" were apparently introduced through Spain (AFAIK) so I think that's probably a good match.

Would this be the same as Tiger Nut Flour? I've used it in low carb recipes. Not a fan tulipsandroses Feb 12 #1

I think so. You can buy whole nuts and nut flour. Prices vary wildly from one source to another. eppur_se_muova Feb 12 #2

I used it years ago. I don't remember if I bought it on Amazon or Nuts.com
I've seen Tiger Nut flour at Walmart as well.

A Google search is almost useless, because even with quotes on "tiger milk" there are too many inexact matches.
