    How To Make Homemade Nut Milk

    Making your own nut milk is a lot easier than you'd expect, and this recipe from Whitney Helena of Nourished Plate is delicious in coffee, cereal and anywhere else!
    Course: Drinks
    Cuisine: American
    Keyword: homemade nut milk, nut milk recipe, vegan recipes
    Servings: 2 cups
    Author: Nourished Plate

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup raw hazelnuts or almonds, or roasted unsalted cashews
    • 2 cups water, plus more for soaking
    • Sweeteners: honey, sugar, or maple syrup, to taste,optional
    • GF Vanilla extract, optional
    • Large strainer
    • Blender or food processor
    • Cheesecloth

    Instructions

    • Soak the nuts 12-36 hours: Place the nuts in a bowl and cover with about an inch of filtered water, at least overnight. The longer the nuts soak, the creamier the milk. Almonds & hazelnuts will particularly benefit from 24+ hours of soaking.
    • Drain the nuts from their soaking water and rinse them thoroughly under cool running water.
    • Combine the nuts and 2 cups filtered water in a blender or food processor. Spin for 2-3 minutes, until the nuts are a fine meal and the water is opaque. Pause to scrape down sides if needed.
    • Line the strainer with either the opened nut bag or cheesecloth, and place over a pitcher or large bowl. Pour the nut mixture into the strainer. Gather the nut bag or cheesecloth around the nut meal and twist to release all the liquid from the nut meal. (See Recipe Note for what to do with the leftover nut meal.)
    • Sweeten to taste, add vanilla if desired.
    • Store the nut milk in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
