Serves: 4½ cups
Ingredients
  • 1 cup raw pecans (halves or pieces)
  • 4 cups water, plus additional for soaking
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (see post above for Sweetener Options)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
  1. Put the nuts in a container and cover with a few inches of water. Cover and place in the refrigerator to soak for 6 to 24 hours. Drain and rinse the nuts.
  2. Put the soaked nuts in your blender with about 2 cups of the water. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining 2 cups water and blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
  3. Pour the milky mixture through a nut milk bag or a few layers of cheesecloth lining a sieve to strain. Squeeze the pulp to extract as much milky goodness as possible.
  4. Return the milk beverage to your blender and blend in the maple syrup, vanilla, and salt, until combined.
  5. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Stir before each use; it will separate as it sits.
