Nut Milk

Homemade nut milk with just 2 ingredients (simple, vegan & sugar-free). Creamy, additive-free and ideal for smoothies, muesli, baking or simply on its own.

10 Min.

Preparation

1. Soak the nuts: 
Put the nuts in a bowl and cover them completely with water. Leave them to soak overnight (at least 8 hours).

2. Drain the water
The next day, drain the soaking water and briefly rinse the nuts.

3. Puree the nuts: 
Put the soaked nuts together with 1 liter of fresh water in a blender. Blend everything until there are no visible pieces of nut left.

4. Filter (optional): 
For a particularly fine nut milk, you can filter the mixture through a nut milk bag, a fine-mesh sieve or a clean kitchen towel.

5. Refine the taste (optional): 
Add a little sweetness if required, e.g. in the form of dates, maple syrup or vanilla extract.

6. Filling: 
Pour the nut milk into a clean bottle or carafe. It will keep for 3-4 days in the fridge.

Tips for using up leftovers: 
The leftover nut pomace is great for cookies, muesli bars or as a base for vegan cream cheese.
