Ingredients
- 14-13 cup raw nuts or 14-13 cup seeds, any kind
- 1 cup water (if using bottled juice, go for "natural" brands, if only because they usually taste better) or 1 cup juice (if using bottled juice, go for "natural" brands, if only because they usually taste better)
Method
- If using water and whole nuts/seeds, soak overnight (optional).
- Blend until very smooth and strain, if desired.
- I use this for smoothies, hence I've never strained it--I think it's more healthful left as-is, but straining is probably a good idea for those who wish to use this as a milk substitute, e.g., as a topping for cereal; I imagine some use could be found for the pulp.
- Natural sweetener, i.e., honey; dehydrated cane juice; agave nectar, can be added to taste (I'd start with a teaspoon or less).
- Since I posted this, I've come to realize that upping the nuts/seeds to 1/3 cup and straining if using the milk for drinking plain makes REALLY decadent milks.
- Also, a nut milk bag is useful; eBay has at least one seller with very reasonably priced food-grade nylon bags for this purpose.
