Step-by-Step How To Make Nut Milk. The process is much easier than you think. Just takes a little bit of planning to soak the nuts, then all you need is a high powered blender or food processor and a mesh strainer, cheese cloth or nut milk bag. Easy to customize and create your own flavors.

Ingredients
Almond Milk:
- 1 cup almond raw; soaked for 8 hours
- 4 cups water fresh
Cashew Milk:
- 1 cup cashew raw; soaked for 4 hours
- 4 cups water fresh
Pecan Milk:
- 1 cup pecan raw; not soaked or soaked for 4 hours
- 4 cups water fresh
Optional add-ins:
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 Medjool dates
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 vanilla bean scraped or ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder unsweetened
Instructions
- Depending on what kind of nut milk you're making, soak nuts accordingly. I did not soak pecans but you can if you'd like. You'll need blender or food processor, fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag, large bowl and bottles or jars.
- Drain: Add soaked nuts to strainer and rinse with fresh water.
- Blend: Add nuts into blender with 4 cups fresh water; blend for 2-3 minutes. Nut milk should be creamy and opaque.
- Strain: Place nut milk bag in large bowl (or mesh strainer over large bowl or 4 cup measuring cup). Gently pour milk from blender into nut milk bag. If using nut milk bag, squeeze all liquid out as best as you can into bowl – what is left behind is the pulp. See in post below recipe card for what to do with leftover.
- Store: Gently pour nut milk into glass bottles – best to use a bowl with a pouring spout or use a funnel. Store nut milk in fridge. Best enjoyed within 1 week. Settling is natural – just shake bottle before pouring.
Notes
- OPTIONAL ADD-INS: I added 2 tablespoons maple syrup to the almond milk, left the cashew milk plain and did 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon to pecan version. For any optional add-ins, add in during step 2 while blending the nuts with fresh water.
