How to Make Almond Milk (And Other Nut Milks)
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almonds (or whatever nut you like)
- 2 cups water (for soaking nuts)
- 4 cups water
- honey or dates (optional if you want to sweeten)
- Strawberries, cocoa powder, vanilla extract (Optional if you want flavoured milk)
Instructions
- Soak 1 cup of almonds and 2 cups of water overnight (for 8 hours)
- After 8 hours, rinse the soaked nuts under water until the water turns clear
- Add rinsed nuts into blender and add 4 cups of water. (You can add more or less water depending on how thick you want the nut milk to turn out)
- Blend the water and nuts together until all the nuts are finely grind up
- Using a thin cloth or a nut milk bag over a large bowl or jar, pour milk and nuts mixture and strain
- You will have to squeeze the nuts for all the nut milk to come out. You can save the left over nut meal and use it in your baking so nothing goes to waste.
Notes
Store your nut milk in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. When it sits for awhile, it will separate, don't worry, you can just give it a good shake and it is good to go! Add your nut milk to your morning cup of coffee or tea and use it where ever you use milk normally!
