Ingredients

• 1 cup nuts (almonds, cashews, or a mix)
• 4 cups filtered water
• 2 tablespoons sweetener (maple syrup, agave syrup, or honey)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• Pinch of salt

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until fragrant and slightly golden. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
3. Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
4. In a blender, combine the roasted nuts, water, sweetener, vanilla extract (if using), and salt. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
5. Place a nut milk bag or cheesecloth over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended mixture into the bag or cheesecloth.
6. Gently squeeze and press down on the bag or cheesecloth to extract the milk. Continue until you've extracted as much liquid as possible.
7. Pour the strained milk into a bottle or jar, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and allow flavors to meld.
8. Shake well before using, as separation is natural. Use within 4-5 days.
9. Enjoy your homemade roasted nut milk in your favorite recipes, as a drink, or as a delicious dairy-free alternative in coffee, tea, or smoothies.
