Ingredients

  • 1 cup nuts soaked overnight
  • 3 cups water
  • up to 1 Tbs sweetener of choice optional

Instructions

  • Blend nuts and water in a high powered blender
  • Strain through a nut milk bag, squeezing from top down to get all the milk out.
  • Rinse blender, return milk to blender, and sweeten according to taste preference.

Notes

Use a nut milk bag instead of a cheesecloth for easier straining.
Only make as much nut milk as you want to use in the next day or two as it does not keep long.
Softer nuts like cashews and pine nuts do not need to be strained.
Adjust liquid to nut ratio according to thickness and richness preference.
