Natural Nut Milk
Have you ever made your own nut milk?? It’s actually really simple to do.
You know me, If something can be done homemade I’m all for it, the least processed & more natural a product is the better!
A lot of these “healthy” store bought plant based milks are FULL of unnecessary additional sugars, flavours, emulsifiers & vegetable oils.
When time allows I make my own, when I can’t..
I always read the ingredient list and opt for the best option. Look for simple ingredients, unsweetened & actually look at the nut
percentage, you will be amazed when comparing brands (I mean who wants to spend top dollar on basically water!).
Servings: 700ml
Ingredients
1 cup of Raw Nuts of choice, soaked & drained overnight (I used almonds here, but feel free to use cashews, hazelnuts or whatever!)
3 cups of Water
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Cinnamon
1 Medjool date, pitted
Method
1. Process all ingredients until blended.
2. Strain milk through a muslin cloth or nut milk bag.
3. Keep refrigerated for 3 – 4 days.
Hint
Don’t chuck out the excess pulp! Try this Cheesy Almond Crackers recipe!
Alternatively, let it dry, blend it up again and store as nut flour.
