Baked Nut Milk

Ingredients 0/4

Step 1

Lightly heat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the nuts out in a single layer. Pop them in the oven for about 5 minutes, then give the sheet a little shake to turn the nuts over. Keep baking for another 5 minutes or so, until they’re nicely toasted. Once done, turn off the oven but leave the nuts inside to cool down a bit, around 10 minutes.

Step 2

Transfer the nuts to a large bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for about half an hour. After soaking, scoop the nuts out with a slotted spoon, but don’t toss the soaking water — you’ll need it for blending.

Step 3

Put the nuts in your blender and start by adding 1 cup of the soaking water. Blend on low for about 30 seconds. Then add another cup of soaking water and blend for a full minute. Finally, pour in the rest of the soaking water and blend on medium speed for 30 seconds. Let the nut milk sit for 10 minutes to settle.

Step 4

Strain the milk through a fine sieve or nut milk bag into a container. Stir in some honey and a pinch of salt to taste. Cover and pop it in the fridge to chill. Enjoy your fresh nut milk within a few days!
