Nutty Delight: Roasted Nut Milk Recipe

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grab a trusty baking sheet, line it with parchment paper, and lovingly scatter the nuts on top.

Step 2

Let the nuts dance in the oven for about 5 minutes until they start to get toasty. Give the baking sheet a gentle shake to ensure all sides are equally happy. Allow them to continue their flavorful journey for another 5 minutes until perfectly toasted. Once done, turn off the oven, but let the nuts linger inside to cool off for approximately 10 minutes.

Step 3

Now, it's time to pamper the nuts. Gently transfer them to a spacious bowl and shower them with water. Cover the bowl like tucking them in for a cozy nap, and let them soak up all the goodness for a delightful 30 minutes.

Step 4

Using a slotted spoon, lift the nuts from their water bath, keeping the soaking water aside for later use. Pop the nuts into a blender and pour in 1 cup of the reserved soaking water. Blend at a gentle pace for 30 seconds, then add another cup of water and blend for a whole minute. Finish by adding the remaining soaking water and blend on a medium speed for 30 seconds. Let the nut milk relax and settle for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Strain the nut milk through a sieve or a nut bag into a charming glass container. Sweeten the deal by stirring in honey and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. Cover the container and allow it to chill in the refrigerator, ready to bring creamy goodness to your creations.
