The Recipe
Same basic recipe for all:
Chocolate Hazelnut Mylk
Turmeric Coconut Brazil Nut Mylk
Matcha Almond Mylk
1 cup nuts (soaked)
4 cups filtered water
2 dates (x4+ for sweet mylks like chocolate)
Flavorings like matcha, turmeric, cacao, etc. to taste
1. Soak nuts overnight. Softer nuts like cashews, hazelnuts, and brazil nuts only need to be soaked for 2-3 hours. This makes the nuts easier to digest.
2. Blend dates, drained nuts, and filtered water in a high powered blender like a Vitamix until nut and date particles are completely pulverized.
3. Pour mixture through a nut mylk bag or cheese cloth, straining as much liquid as possible into a large bowl. The left over nut pulp can be used in baking!
4. Add flavorings like matcha, turmeric, or cacao and extracts like vanilla to taste and blend mylk again until smooth.
