Makes 3 Cups
Use the photo demonstrating for how long you have to soak the nuts or seeds for your milk
- 1 cup nuts (almonds, brazilian nuts, cashews, hazelnut, walnut, hemp seeds etc…)
- 4 cups filtered water
- 4 pitted dates
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or powder I also add a little cinnamon and cardamon
- Place all ingredients into a high speed blender I use a Vitamix and blend them till totally smooth.
- Lay a double layer of cheesecloth or a nut milk bag over the mouth of a large mason jar or another large container into which you can strain the liquid. You can also use small metal-mesh strainer if you don’t have a cheesecloth, but your milk will have more pieces of the pulp.
- Pour the nut milk through the cheesecloth or nut milk bag, and into the container. You may need to work in batches. You can compost or save the nut pulp, I like to use it in my chia pudding or make raw deserts. Transfer the nut milk to an airtight container. It will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days. Enjoy : )
