250g tigernuts
1L water
100g sugar (or up to 150g)
a small piece of lemon rind
a small piece of cinnamon bark
extra water to hydrate the tigernuts
Hydrate the tigernuts with water overnight or up to two days, by covering them generously in cold water and keeping them in the fridge (otherwise they may ferment). If they are really dry and they need two days, change the water each day. They will swell up a bit.
