How-to Make Nut Milk
I am super excited to share this tutorial with you guys! Many of you have asked for a tutorial on nut milks, since I started the Tutorial Tuesdays Series. I have been making my own nut milks for quite a few years now. Once I realized just how simple it was, I have made a quart of almond milk nearly every single week.
I also love making variations on the flavors, at least once a month I make a quart of raw cacao almond nut milk. It’s the perfect sweet treat for me.
Much like my nut butter post, this is a general overview on how to make nut milks, but really the sky is the limit. If you have a favorite nut – I say MILK IT! As with the nut butters, I recommend soaking your nuts first, but for nut milks dehydration isn’t necessary, so it’s that much easier.Below you will find a chart on soaking times for various milks.
What Nuts Can You Milk?
First of all, let’s just get all the giggles out now. Sooo many amazinginnuendos when it comes to nut milks. Oh, and guess what? It doesn’t get old. Everytime I pull my nut bag out. A good laugh is had! Anyhow –I myself have made nut milks from almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts and pistachios, but from what I understand the same rules apply no matter what nut you choose, so you can create nut milks from any of the other nuts listed below and likely many others, too. FYI macadamia nut milk is amazing, so rich and full of incredible flavor, but literally it may be the most expensive nut milk you can make. I made a batch for this testing and I kinda wish I hadn’t. It was so good.
How & Why to Soak Your Nuts
Why I Choose to Soak:Most nuts, seeds, grains and beans are covered in natural chemicals – enzyme inhibitors and toxins – that protect them while growing, both from sprouting prematurely and also from predators. These nutritional inhibitors and toxic substances are enzyme inhibitors, phytates (phytic acid), polyphenols (tannins), and goitrogens.Once harvested, those same chemicals, the major one being phytic acid – are indigestible to the human body and must be broken down before consumption. When food containing phytic acid is consumed, the acid combines with important minerals likecalcium, magnesium, copper, iron and especially zinc in the intestinal tract and blocks their absorptionwhich inhibits our digestive systems’ ability to break the nut down properly.
The very simple process of soaking releases these chemicals, helping you to absorb your food’s essential minerals and nutrients. Additionally, by soaking the nuts with the removal of these nutritional inhibitors and toxic substances,the flavor and taste is much more ideal and appealing.
To summarize: Soaking nuts makes them easier to digest and improves their flavor.
How-to Make Homemade Nut Milks
1) Soak your nuts in filtered water for the appropriate time, drain and rinse.
2) Blend your soaked nuts with filtered water, adding in any flavorings you would like.
3) Pour into your nut milk bag and squeeze. Separating the pulp from the milk.
[print_this]Homemade Nut Milk
makes 1 quart
- 1-2 cups raw unsalted organic nuts*
- 4 cups filtered or purified water
Optional:
- pinch of himalayan sea salt (optional)
- 1-2 tablespoon local raw honey or other sweetener (optional)
- 1 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
1)Soak your nuts and vanilla bean (if you are using one) for at the appropriate amount of time (see above chart for appropriate soaking times)
2) Discard soaking water and rinse your nuts and the vanilla bean.
3) Place soaked nuts, the whole soaked vanilla bean (you can chop it up or split it open if you wish) or vanilla extract, honey (or other sweetener), a dash of sea salt and 4 cups of water in a blender. Cover and blend on high for 1-2 minutes. It will be milky and have a bit of foam on the top.
4) Strain milk through anut bag and squeeze into a bowl. (see my suggestions below on what I use)
SERVE.[/print_this]
* I find that 1 cup of nuts is more than enough for 1 quart of milk, some people prefer 2 cups.
NOTES:
These same instructions work for any nut that you prefer to use. Though, generally almonds are my go-to choice.
Store in a covered glass jar, bottle or pitcher in the refrigerator, it’ll be good for about 4-5 days.
Separation is totally natural with homemade nut milks, just be sure to shake it up just before serving.
This rich and creamy flavorful milk is amazing in smoothies and over your favorite cereal.
[print_this]Vanilla Bean Cashew Milk
makes 1 quart
- 1 cup raw unsalted organic cashews
- 4 cups filtered or purified water
- pinch of himalayan sea salt
- 1 tablespoon local raw honey or other sweetener
- 1 vanilla bean
1)Soak your raw cashews and vanilla bean in filtered water for at least 2 hours.
2) Discard soaking water and rinse your cashews and the vanilla bean.
3) Place soaked cashews, honey (or other sweetener), vanilla bean, a dash of sea salt and 4 cups of water in a blender. Cover and blend on high for 1-2 minutes. It will be milky and have a bit of foam on the top.
4) Strain milk through anut bag, doubled up cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer. (see my suggestions below on what I use)
Notes: Some people prefer not to strain their cashew milk, since it technically doesn’t have to be, (think about all those glorious creamy cashew cream sauces). Even though it has far less pulp than other nuts, I don’t have a Vitamix (yet) so I personally don’t love the grittiness that mine still had.[/print_this]
Reap all of the wonderful anti-inflammatory benefits of both the raw almonds and the turmeric. This drink is great served chilled and even better warmed up and served as a hot, comforting beverage to cure all that ails. Boost turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties by adding a some healthy fat and/or black pepper when consuming.
[print_this]Turmeric Almond Milk
makes 1 quart
- 1 cup organic raw unsalted almonds
- 4 cups filtered or purified water
- pinch of himalayan sea salt (optional)
- 1 tablespoon local raw honey or other sweetener (optional)
- 1-2 tablespoons turmeric powder (I find turmeric to have a mild flavor, so I go with 2 tablespoons)
1)Soak your almonds in filtered water for 8-12 hours.
2) Discard soaking water and rinse your almonds.
3) Place soaked almonds, honey (or other sweetener), turmeric powder, a dash of sea salt and 4 cups of water in a blender. Cover and blend on high for 1-2 minutes. It will be milky and have a bit of foam on the top.
4) Strain milk through anut bag, doubled up cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer. (see my suggestions below on what I use)[/print_this]
This nut milk is LIFE CHANGING! It literally tastes like Nutella, but in drink form :SWOON: I love it as a sweet way to finish my day, instead of a dessert.
[print_this]Raw Cacao Hazelnut Milk
makes 1 quart
- 1 cup raw unsalted organic hazelnuts
- 4 cups filtered or purified water
- pinch of himalayan sea salt
- 2 tablespoons local raw honey or other sweetener
- 1 vanilla bean
- 2 tablespoons raw cacao powder
1)Soak your raw hazelnuts and vanilla bean in filtered water for 8 hours.
2) Discard soaking water and rinse your hazelnuts and the vanilla bean.
3) Place soaked hazelnuts, honey (or other sweetener), vanilla bean, raw cacao powder, a dash of sea salt and 4 cups of water in a blender. Cover and blend on high for 1-2 minutes. It will be milky and have a bit of foam on the top.
4) Strain milk through anut bag, doubled up cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer. (see my suggestions below on what I use)[/print_this]
Pistachio milk has a very strong and distinct, nutty flavor. If you love pistachios, this one is definitely for you. Plus, that subtle green hue is just so beautiful. I am not sure if it’s because of their complimentary hues or if they truly are a great match – but I love adding a little ground cardamom to my pistachio milk. Pistachio milk and it’s strong taste to me, isn’t exactly my favorite nut milk for straight drinking, but it makes a wonderful addition to smoothies and creamy sweet dessert recipes.
[print_this]Pistacho Milk
makes 1 quart
- 1 cup raw unsalted organic pistachios
- 4 cups filtered or purified water
- pinch of himalayan sea salt
- 1 tablespoon local raw honey or other sweetener
- 1 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
NOTE: Pistachios do not need to be soaked – so you can go to town and make your pistachio milk, whenever you’d like.
1) Place the pistachios, honey (or other sweetener), vanilla bean (or vanilla extract), a dash of sea salt and 4 cups of water in a blender. Cover and blend on high for 1-2 minutes. It will be milky and have a bit of foam on the top.
2) Strain milk through anut bag, doubled up cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer. (see my suggestions below on what I use)[/print_this]
Optional Add-ins for Your Nut Milks
For every batch of nut milk I make, I always add a pinch of pink Himalyan sea salt and about 1-2 tablespoons of local raw honey (unless I need unsweetened nut milk for a savory dish some reason). Besides that there are so many variations and fun things you can add to your nut milks.
SWEETENERS: Besides raw local honey which is my favorite, other options for natural sweeteners include: medjool dates, maple syrup, coconut nectar, raw sugar, stevia, xylitol and so on.
FLAVORS: For flavorings there are so many lovely possibilities. Some of my favorites are vanilla bean, vanilla extract, raw cacao, lavender (which is just incredible), turmeric, spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, etc. There are so many amazing possibilities.
OTHER: You can also add things likehemp seeds for additional some Omega-3 and Omega-6 and protein, coconut water instead of regular water for a fun flavor twist, you can add oats, flaxseeds and so on. Have fun with it.
What To Do With Your Nut Milks
You can use nut milks just as you would regular milk in any recipes, including baked goods. Remember if you are using homemade nut milk in a savory recipe, leave out the sweetener and additional flavorings, such as vanilla. I love enjoying my homemade nut milks cold straight from the fridge in a tall glass, they are the best in homemade smoothies, nut milks are also great served hot in homemade hot cocoa, a mocha, coffee or tea lattesand so one. Add it to a shaker with your favorite spirits andyou can make amazing cocktails. The list goes on and on. How do you enjoy your nut milks?
What To Do With the Leftover Pulp
There are so many different uses for the leftover pulp you can add it to smoothies or your morning oatmeal, you can add it to dips, homemade granolas, to the batter of your cookies or muffin, crackers, or you can even dehydrate it and then blend it up to make almond meal. When all else fails freeze it for later or compost it if you really don’t have room for it.
Here are some great recipes for things you can do with the leftover pulp:

Nut Milk Bags
I was using this nut bag for quite a while, but I didn’t love that it wasn’t made from organic materials.
I recently bought this organic cotton nut milk bagfrom Cultures for Health and I absolutely love it. I feel so much better using it knowing that it is fully organic and the quality is incredible.
The great thing about most nut milk bags is that you can also use them for sprouting nuts, seeds and grains.
** I personally do not recommend using the cheesecloth, strainer or pantyhose methods, they are messy and require multiple passes to strain all the bits out. It is never quite as creamy as when I use a good nut milk bag.
For those curious, this is the blender that I use. It works great! Someday I will splurge and get a Blentec or Vitamix, until then – this works just perfectly!

Thanks for this tutorial, I’m definitely going to try the tumeric almond milk ASAP! I have a question, though: at a few different juice bars I’ve seen nutmilks infused with chlorophyll. Do you know how this is (best) done? I’ve actually never used chlorophyll before…is it a liquid or a powder like spirulina? Would I put it in after straining the milk from the pulp? If you don’t know, that’s alright! I’ll have to experiment…

Beth it actually varies with each nut actually cashews produce way less pulp than almonds. I would say from one cup of almonds you get a little less than one cup of pulp.

Hi Beth. I have been wanting to get started on nut milks and I believe this post will finally give me the confidence to try it! I HATE buying most of the nut milks (including coconut milk) offered in stores because they have carrageenan and other ingredients that are unnecessary and unhealthy. My question is where do you source your nuts? I know that almonds grown in the US are supposedly “pasteurized” and other nuts may have been sprayed with chemicals. Do you have a source where you can buy nuts without having to buy in great quantities?

Hey! Do you also use that same blender for your nut butters, or is that too much? I don’t have either a high powered blender OR a food processor yet, so I’m trying to decide which one is more important.
Thanks Beth 🙂

Megan, yes I have heard from many that their Vitamix or Blendtec blenders are great for nut butters. My Kitchenaid cannot handle nut butters. I would say get yourself a nice blender and you can likely skip a food processor or at least do without for a while. I actually use both my blender and my food processor almost every day. Hope that helps.

Second, I have some cacao nibs in my pantry. Could I grind them & use as the cacao powder in that amazing looking nutella milk?

Hi there Siyeen, so nice to “meet” you! Yay LBC!! Currently I buy raw honey at either the farmers market on Wednesdays at Marine Stadium or most of the time at Lazy Acres, over on Bellflower. For nuts, I buy raw organic almonds at Lazy Acres usually or Whole Foods, as well as any other raw organic nuts I want. I found a farm up north that sells their raw organic unpasteurized almonds in 25 pound boxes and it is just $8.00/pound, which is insanely cheap (shipping is extra). I just can’t justify nor do I have that much extra money currently to buy that amount at once. Some day 😉 If you ever wanna go in together and get 12.5 lbs of almonds each, you let me know 🙂

Funny to find that you are in Long Beach. I lived at Bellflower and Atherton up until a year ago. We moved to Montana last year. I used to walk to Lazy Acres all the time and sometimes stop at See’s on the way. I still have a jar of honey from the marina farmers market on Sundays. Try Vitamin City on Spring at Palo Verde. They are a little hole in the wall but can have good prices on some things. Thank you for your tutorial. I have made Brazil, almond,and pecan milk. I made double strength cashew milk added some psyllium and fermented it with probiotic powder to make yogurt that we use as a sour cream substitute. I have been putting the pulp in the freezer to make your cookie bars.

I just made my first batch of homemade almond milk this morning, and it was delicious! I also made peanut butter for the first time earlier this week, thanks to your other tutorial. My husband’s initial skepticism regarding the ease of each process and resulting taste was transformed into pleasant surprise and a wholehearted endorsement to stop buying pre-made almond milk and peanut butter. And I’m delighted to have eliminated wasteful packaging from two products we use regularly. Thank you! I’m so glad to have discovered your blog recently. Now I need to review your recipes that use leftover almond pulp.

I knew you were supposed to soak nuts before turning them into milk, but I didn’t know why. Super interesting! I make hemp milk for my one year old son. He is intolerant/allergic (i.e. he gets hives) to soy, dairy, eggs, etc. He doesn’t mind the flavor of the milk, but when I taste it it’s pretty darn grassy despite the fact that I’m blending in a couple of whole dates and some vanilla bean. Do you think soaking hemp hearts would improve the flavor as it does for the nuts?
Reply
tastyyummiessays:
June 3, 2014 at 8:02 am
Hey Ellyn, glad you found this helpful and informative. Hempseeds actually do not contain phytic acid, the mineral-binding antinutrient common to most nuts, seeds, grains, and legumes. So this means hemp seeds require no soaking to get rid of phytate and likely the flavor wouldn’t be improved much, as it is with the nuts!

Wondering why you need to strain nut milks? Wouldn’t drinking the milk with the pulp be more nutritious – plus getting benefit of the fiber in the pulp? Thanks
Reply
Beth @ Tasty Yummiessays:
August 25, 2014 at 8:55 am
They need to be strained because otherwise it will be quite thick, lumpy and pulpy, not milk-like at all. Of course drinking the pulp would keep ALL of the nutrients possible, but it isn’t very good. Also just an FYI much of the nutrients and vitamins and such actually end up in the milk itself, and the pulp that is leftover is pretty stripped. But for sure the pulp will have the most fiber.

You list coconut under under nut free milks (which it is, it’s botanically a fruit) but as an allergen it is considered a tree nut; people with tree nut allergies have a risk of having a reaction to coconut and should consult their allergist before adding it to their diets.
