Ingredients




1 cup raw, organic nuts and seeds
3 cups filtered water
Real vanilla extract
1 teaspoon Himalayan or sea salt, to taste
Sweetener: Stevia or a few dates or blackstrap molasses

Preparation

1 Soak nuts with a "skin" (such as almonds, pecans, filbert,Brazil, or walnuts) in filtered water overnight. 2 If you are in a hurry, then soak nuts for at least two hours.  Drain water used to soak nuts. 3 Combine nuts, fresh water, dates (if used) and blend until creamy. 4 Strain the milk by pouring the liquid through a vegetable juicer (which strains out the pulp), or with a muslin or other cloth. 5 Flavor with vanilla and sweetener to taste. 6 Nut milk will keep two to three days in the refrigerator.
