Brazil Nut Milk
Posted on | August 18, 2008 | No Comments
Today I made Brazil Nut Milk for the first time. My journey into alternatives to milk started with soy milk and then rice milk. These were the only options sold in the stores I visited so many years ago. Over time, more milks have shown up on the shelves. I have seen soy milk, almond milk, rice milk, hazelnut milk, oat milk and even hempseed milk. Some of these don’t fit my budget, so I decided to try making them myself and have been rather successful.
Why Brazil nuts? Well, why not?! I’ve been making a lot of almond milk lately and was ready for something different. It turns out that I may like this better than almond milk or at least I was ready for a change! The brazil nut milk is creamy and has a mild, but sweet taste. We’ll be making this one again and again.
===== Brazil Nut Milk =====
2/3 cup Raw Brazil Nuts
2 Deglet Noor Dates (or 1-2 Medjool dates)
Water
A dash of salt
3-4 drops vanilla extract
Soak the nuts and dates in water for several hours.
Pour nuts, dates and soak water into the vitamix container. Fill with water to the 1 liter mark or less if you like it extra creamy. Blend on high for 90 seconds.
Pour the nut milk through a nut milk bag, cheesecloth or other fine strainer.
Stir in a dash of salt and a few drops of vanilla extract (optional).
