Nut Milk Bag
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of brazil nuts (soaked)
- 4 cups of filtered water
- Stevia to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Soak the Brazil Nuts in a bowl of water (make sure there’s enough water to completely cover the nuts) for 24 hours or overnight. Nuts contain phytic acids, which can leach nutrients from the body unless the acids are broken down through soaking. Soaking nuts is also gentler on the digestive system.
- Drain the nuts and rinse. Add the nuts to your blender along with 4 cups of fresh filtered water. Don’t use the water that you used to soak the nuts. It has all the phytic acid!
- Blend the nuts and water together until well combined and there are no large chunks of nuts. You will see small pieces of fiber, but you shouldn’t see any big pieces.
- Take out a large bowl and slowly pour the milk through the nut milk bag, straining into a large bowl. Squeeze the bag to remove the rest of the milk and discard the pulp.
- If you would like to sweeten the milk, slowly pour it back into the blender. Add stevia and blend to mix. Or you can just stir it in if you’re feeling lazy. If you don’t want to sweeten the milk simply transfer to glass jars and refrigerate.
