Tigernut drink, kunun aya in northern Nigeria, is made by soaking and blending tigernuts until they give up a thick, milky liquid. It comes out naturally sweet, gently nutty and creamy without any dairy in it, which is why it has quietly become one of West Africa's favourite refreshments.
Here it is blended together with debinu into a single drink. Serve it well chilled. It goes down easily on a hot Kigali afternoon and it is a good non-alcoholic option next to a heavy plate of jollof rice, suya or soup.
Order online for delivery or pickup in Kigali from Jollof Bistro.
