Hi April!

You're actually mistaken on a few different points, so I'll clarify them for you.

First, as explained above, tigernuts are not nuts; rather, they're root vegetables, and they're not a significant source of food phytate.

Second, for your nut milks or for other foods rich in food phytate, consider that food phytate doesn't dissolve into the soaking medium; rather, soaking simply deactivates it. Essentially, soaking activates enzymes that breakdown the food phytate, not completely, but to a degree.

Lastly, in an otherwise mineral-dense diet, food phytate is probably not a significant concern.

I've always used fresh water and not the soaking water whenever I've made my own nut milk, as I understand the point of soaking is to remove the phytic acid that makes it harder to digest the nuts properly. If we use the same water, doesn't it defeat the purpose of soaking in the first place since the phytic acid will now just be in the water?

Tastes a lot like strawberry milk. I doubled the recipe and added 1/4 honey to the doubled recipe, and that seemed to be just the perfect amount of sweetness. Thanks for the great recipe!

I can’t even tell you how excited I was to try this recipe! I studied abroad in Spain about six years ago, so I have missed good horchata. I love the idea of using strawberries to add a fruitiness to the drink. Have you ever tried a ginger horchata? Not only does the ginger do wonders for the digestive system, but it has such a fresh and refreshing flavor as well!

I was able to try tigernuts once while living in the Bay Area, but haven't found them here in Switzerland, yet I had no idea they were the traditional ingredient in horchata, which I absolutely love.

Will have to try this when I'm back in the U.S. this August, maybe w/ some seasonal blueberries instead 🙂
