British beverage brand Rude Health has unveiled a new tiger nut drink, made with 6% organic tiger nuts, spring water, organic rice and a pinch of sea salt.
Billed as a ‘refreshing alternative to milk’, the beverage is dairy-free and has no added sugar. Available in Waitrose and Ocado from the end of September, the drink will be sold with a recommended retail price of £2.50 for a 1 litre bottle.
Ahead of the launch, a spokesperson from Rude Health said: “Tiger nuts aren’t nuts, and have nothing to do with tigers. But they are stripy in a tiger-print kind of way, and they grow underground, which makes them the most glamorous tuber in our book.
“Creamy with a hint of sweetness, horchata made from tiger nuts is a speciality of the city of Valencia where they drink it over ice, and in Mexico where they serve it hot with cinnamon or vanilla.”
The tiger nut drink variant is the latest addition to Rude Health’s dairy alternative drinks portfolio, which includes oat, hazelnut, almond, ultimate almond, brown rice, coconut, and cashew flavours.
