Walnut Milk Instructions
- 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, running through a fine mesh strainer 2-3 times is sufficient. This milk lasts in the fridge for about 3 days and is best served fresh.
