Homemade nut milk?

[JimGarner]

Hi all! As far as I know, nut milk contains a lot more nutrients than dairy milk. Hence, I want to make nut milk at home for the first time. But first, of course I have to ask you guys some tips/insights/hacks that I should notice before actually giving it a shot. It’d be nicer if you can share with me the successful recipe you have made.

So hard! Too many jokes here I am trying to refrain from so I don't get kicked off.

But I bet @chef jimmyj might be able to point you in the right direction.

I had to do a google search to see if it was possible...it is. Learned there is something called a nut milk bag that is required. Interesting but I think I'll stick with smoked nuts and cow milk.

Hi there and welcome!

I don't have any real help for you but it all comes down to the correct kind of tool to grind/milk the nut. That's my understanding.

Now if you want to make nut butters I can help you with that as I use wet grinders/melangers so can give some more info. I don't make nut butters though but the machines are simple.

Pretty simple process overall. Soak nuts. Blend, strain. Can add flavors or sweeteners if you like. I’ve never done it I just buy the unsweetened ones but may try sometime. I greatly prefer cashew milk to almond milk, much more of a while milk creamy texture. Here’s one of many examples. https://minimalistbaker.com/how-to-make-almond-milk/

Milking nuts? Never tried it, but I'd venture a guess it's easier with Tiny Finger's....JJ
