Horchata de almendras o chufas

This recipe requires preparation in advance!

This is a Spanish recipe for nut 'milk' (horchata), which is more commonly made using 'chufas' (tigernuts). It is also made with almonds (almendras), although to a lesser extent, and that is what I have used as I have never seen tigernuts for sale in the UK.

Chef's notes

If using almonds, do not thow them away when you have strained them from the water. You can re-use them to make Ajo Blanco Malagueño - my favourite summertime soup.
