HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE NUT MILK
1. Soak 1 cup of your desired nuts (raw almonds, cashews or hazelnuts are popular choices) overnight.
2. In the morning rinse and drain your soaked nuts and blend on high speed with ¾ cup of filtered water. At this stage feel free to add any flavor additions to customise your nut milk.
3. Finally, strain the liquid through your nut milk bag for a silky, smooth plant-based milk. No pasteurising, additivities, preservatives, or nasties necessary!
