Homemade Nut Milk

Step 1

Depending on what kind of nut milk you're making, soak nuts accordingly. I did not soak pecans but you can if you'd like. You'll need blender or food processor, fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag, large bowl and bottles or jars.

Step 2

Drain: Add soaked nuts to strainer and rinse with fresh water.

Step 3

Blend: Add nuts into blender with 4 cups fresh water; blend for 2-3 minutes. Nut milk should be creamy and opaque.

Step 4

Strain: Place nut milk bag in large bowl (or mesh strainer over large bowl or 4 cup measuring cup). Gently pour milk from blender into nut milk bag. If using nut milk bag, squeeze all liquid out as best as you can into bowl – what is left behind is the pulp. See in post below recipe card for what to do with leftover.

Step 5

Store: Gently pour nut milk into glass bottles – best to use a bowl with a pouring spout or use a funnel. Store nut milk in fridge. Best enjoyed within 1 week. Settling is natural – just shake bottle before pouring.
