Homemade Roasted Nut Milk

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Roasted Nut Milk.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (180°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper.

3. Step 3

   Spread your mixed nuts evenly across the sheet, creating a delightful nutty canvas.

4. Step 4

   Pop the baking sheet into the oven and let the nuts bake for about 5 minutes.

5. Step 5

   After that, give the sheet a gentle shake to flip the nuts, ensuring they toast evenly.

6. Step 6

   Continue baking for another 5 minutes, or until the nuts are beautifully toasted and fragrant, filling your kitchen with a warm, inviting aroma.

7. Step 7

   Once they’re ready, turn off the oven and let the nuts cool slightly inside for about 10 minutes, allowing their flavors to deepen.

8. Step 8

   Next, transfer those toasted treasures into a large bowl and pour in 4 cups of water.

9. Step 9

   Cover the bowl and let the nuts soak for 30 minutes.

10. Step 10

    This step is crucial as it softens the nuts, making them perfect for blending.

11. Step 11

    After the soaking time, use a slotted spoon to lift the nuts out of the water, but don’t toss that soaking water just yet; you’ll need it later.

12. Step 12

    Place the nuts in a blender and add 1 cup of the reserved soaking water.

13. Step 13

    Blend on low speed for about 30 seconds, letting the nuts break down into a creamy mixture.

14. Step 14

    Now, add another cup of the reserved soaking water to the blender and blend again for 1 minute.

15. Step 15

    Then, pour in the remaining soaking water and blend on medium speed for an additional 30 seconds.

16. Step 16

    This is where the magic happens! Allow the nut milk to rest for 10 minutes, letting the flavors meld together beautifully.

17. Step 17

    Once the resting time is up, it’s time to strain your nut milk.

18. Step 18

    Pour it through a fine sieve or a nut bag into a glass container, separating the creamy liquid from the nut pulp.

19. Step 19

    To finish off your delicious nut milk, stir in some honey and a pinch of salt until everything is well combined.

20. Step 20

    Cover your container and store the nut milk in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for up to 5 days.

21. Step 21

    Enjoy your homemade nut milk in smoothies, coffee, or simply on its own—it's a delightful treat that’s both nutritious and satisfying!.
