It's very easy to make nut milks at home. Just 5 minutes and two ingredients is all you need. For sweetened nut milk you can use medjool dates. For pronounced nut taste you can roast the nuts.
Ingredients
- 960 ml (4 cups) water
- 1 cup nuts of choice optional roasted
Other optional ingredients:
- 1/16 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp vanilla powder
- 2 medjool dates
Instructions
- If you want to roast the nuts before using them do that first.
- Put nuts of choice and water in a blender. If you want to add additional optional ingredients do that in this step. Mix well.
- Put a nut milk bag in a pot. Pour the mixture from the blender over the nut milk bag.
- Carefully squeeze the nut milk bag and let the liquid break out from the bag.
