Ingredients
Nut Milk Ingredients
- 1 Cup Raw Unsalted Pistachios
- 4 Cups Cold Filtered Water
- 3 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
- ½ Teaspoon Almond Extract
- Pinch Sea Salt
Instructions
- Soak Pistachios: Begin by soaking the raw unsalted pistachios overnight in water for best results. If you're short on time, cover them with boiling water and soak for 30 minutes to soften and prepare them for blending.
- Remove Skins: After soaking, drain the pistachios and use your hands to easily remove their skins for a smoother, less bitter milk.
- Blend Ingredients: Add the peeled pistachios, 4 cups of cold filtered water, maple syrup, almond extract, and a pinch of sea salt to a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 2-3 minutes until the mixture turns completely smooth and creamy.
- Store Milk: Pour the freshly blended pistachio milk into a jar or bottle and refrigerate. Store it in the fridge for up to one week and enjoy chilled or used in recipes.
Notes
- Soaking pistachios overnight yields the creamiest milk but quick soaking with boiling water is a good alternative if you're short on time.
- Removing the skins ensures a smoother texture and a more vibrant green color.
- Adjust maple syrup amount to taste for desired sweetness.
- Shake well before each use, as natural separation may occur.
- Use cold filtered water for the best flavor and freshness.
- This milk is naturally dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian-friendly.
