Prep Time 6 hours 10 minutes
Total Time 6 hours 10 minutes
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw nuts of choice (unsalted almonds, cashews, pecans or hazelnuts)
- 4 cups filtered water (plus more for soaking overnight)
Instructions
-
Add nuts to a bowl and cover with enough water to submerge. Soak 6-8 hours or overnight. This helps them soften enough so that they can blend properly.
-
In the morning, drain nuts from their soaking water and rinse them in a colander.
-
Add soaked nuts and 4 cups of fresh filtered water to a high-powered blender. Add in any flavor additions you’d like to make them your own.
-
Blend on high speed for 1 minute, adding 30 seconds more if you feel it necessary to blend.
-
Place your nut milk bag over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the nut milk into the bag and strain the liquid into the bowl, using your hands to wring out all of the milk.
-
Pour the nut milk from the bowl into glass jars. Milk will keep in the fridge for up to a week, if not longer. If it separates, simply shake the jars.
