Nut Mylk

Brazil nuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pepitas. Which ever is your favourite - make a fresh and healthy nutritious alternative to cow's milk, soy milk and rice milk. Try nut milk.


Ingredients
1 cups of raw nuts or seeds (or you can mix - ABC nut mix is great; almonds, brazil nuts and cashews)
Muslin Cloth

Method
1) Place nuts in a bowl, cover with water and soak overnight
2) Rinse nuts and discard water
3) Place nuts in a blender with 4 cups of water and blend at high speed until smooth
4) Drape muslin cloth over a large bowl and pour nut milk slowly into the centre. Gather the edges of the cloth together and squeeze out all the moisture from the the nut pulp
5) Place nut milk in a jar or jug and store in the fridge. Use on muesli, porridge, make smoothies or chia pudding!

Tips
Keep the nut pulp in a contain in the fridge and use over the next few days. You can sprinkle it over fruit with yoghurt or replace it in recipes instead of flour or almond meal.
