Homemade Nut Milks

Home made nut milks are easy to make if you have a blender and are generally richer in nutrients than shop bought as these contain a low percentage of actual nuts and can be filled with thickeners and gums to make up for the shortfall in nuts! As a rule of thumb, I use around four parts water to one part nuts or seeds. I have successfully made nut and seed milks from pumpkins seeds, sunflower seeds, cashew nuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts and coconut. This is not an exhaustive list, just my personal experience! You can also use oats for oat milk successfully without soaking them first.
