NUT MILK RECIPE

By Dr. Bahareh Moshtagh, ND

Contains nuts.

Vegan and gluten free.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup raw nuts:
- almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios, pecans, walnuts, cashews, brazil nuts, mac
⁣⁣⁣4 teaspoons of sweetener:
- agave syrup (nectar)/ cane sugar/ maple syrup/ date syrup
⅛ teaspoon kosher or sea salt⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Place nuts in a large bowl and add water to cover the brim by 2 inches. Let stand at least 12 hours (this is key for silky, non-gritty results; the longer the nuts soak, the smoother the milk will be).⁣⁣
Drain nuts; discard soaking liquid.
Purée nuts, sweetener, salt, and 4 cups of very hot water (but not boiling; hot water yields creamier milk) in a blender on high speed until very smooth, about 2 minutes.
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, pressing down on solids
Freeze nut pulp for later to make a protein bar or to bake a cake.
Thin nut milk with water as necessary to reach desired consistency (You can also add your water when you wish to serve the mylk). Note: If you use filtered and boiled water this will help preserve your nut milk longer.
Transfer mylk to airtight container and chill until cold. Make sure your container has been boiled for 10 minutes or left in the oven for 20 minutes at 225 degrees Celsius to preserve your milk longer. ⁣⁣
