Equipment

  • fine mesh strainer

Ingredients
  

Walnut Milk Ingredients

  • 1 cup walnuts
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 pinch salt about ⅛ tsp
  • 1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract optional
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey can also use dates or maple syrup

Instructions
 

Walnut Milk Preparation

  • Add the walnuts to a small pot and cover with water.
  • Bring to a boil, then let simmer for 5-10 minutes to allow the walnuts to soften.
  • Strain and rinse well until the water runs clear.
  • Add to a high speed blender with the water, salt and any optional ad-ins.
  • Blend until completely smooth, about 1 full minute.
  • Use a nut milk bag to strain once or run through a fine mesh strainer 2-3 times until little pulp remains.
  • Transfer to glass jars and store in the fridge.

Notes

Walnuts don't produce as much pulp as other types of nuts, so just running the milk through a fine mesh strainer 2-3 times is more than enough to make it creamy and smooth. Once prepared, this milk will last in the fridge for about 3 days. It's best served fresh and doesn't have a long shelf life compared to store bought, so I don't recommend making more than what you'll be able to consume in a few days.
