[Recipe] Homemade Nut Milks – Plus 3 Flavors

Homemade Nut Milks – Plus 3 Flavors


Did you know it’s easy to make homemade nut milk for your smoothies and you can make it with just about any nut you can lay your hands on? I’ve given you the recipe for homemade coconut milk in a couple of earlier posts. (For the most recent see: 4-Ingredient Coconut Strawberry Smoothie)

Today we have 3 other flavors of nut milks for you to try.

The recipes come from Lindsay Landis at LoveAndOliveOil who says …

If you’ve ever looked at the ingredients actually in almond milk, it’s rather… long. Does it really need to be that way? Do we really need guar gum and carrageenan and lecithin? In general, these additives are mostly preservatives, thickeners, and stabilizers, homogenizing the mixture and thickening it to more resemble cow’s milk. Without these additives, nut milk will separate.

 

But you know what? All you have to do is shake it. Is that really so hard …

 

Recipe: Homemade Nut Milks – Plus 3 Flavors

 

All you need to make homemade nut milk are 2 ingredients: nuts and water. You’ll also need a blender and a nut milk bag (funny name, amazing tool) [or a clean tea towel or a large piece of muslin or cheesecloth]. Additions such as sweeteners and flavorings are entirely optional. In general, 1 cup of nuts will yield 4 cups of nut milk, though you can add more or less water depending on how thick and creamy you want your nut milk to be. This basic recipe can be used for any kind of nut (I have not tried walnut or pistachio but I imagine the same holds true).

 

Almond milk is my standard, but lately I’ve been playing around with different varieties of nuts and added flavorings to make things a bit more interesting.

 

 

The Nut Milk Basics

Makes about 4 cups


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Nuts, your choice (hazelnuts should be peeled, for other nuts this is optional)

  • 3-4 cups Water, or as needed, plus more for soaking

  • Optional sweetener, such as Dates or Maple Syrup

Soak overnight, rinse, blend and strain – that’s all folks, it’s that simple.

(And use the nut meal in other recipes!)

Refrigerate for up to one week.

 

For more detailed directions see Lindsay’s website – link below.

Unlock the Flavor: Mastering Roasted Peppers with Long Hots

Update The Allure of Roasted Peppers Roasted peppers are a culinary delight that turns simple ingredients into something extraordinary. This vibrant dish not only elevates your appetizers but also adds depth and flavor to main courses. Enjoyed by many, roasted peppers can be tailored to your taste—from mild to fiery with spicy long hots. Not only do roasted peppers taste incredible, but they also capture the essence of Italian comfort food, making them a staple in kitchens around the world. Three Techniques to Perfectly Roast Peppers Whether you prefer the hands-on approach of stove-top charring, the efficiency of broiling, or the traditional oven roasting method, mastering these techniques is essential. Roasting peppers, cherishing the aromas wafting through your kitchen, is almost therapeutic and pays off with every mouthful of sweet, smoky flavor. Stovetop Methode: Place whole peppers directly on stove grates, turning frequently until charred all around. This method creates a smoky flavor that’s hard to beat! Broiler Method: Position peppers on a lined pan close to the broiler. Monitor closely, and turn until each side is blistered and blackened. This approach lends a slight char and versatility. Oven Roasting: For an uncomplicated method, preheat your oven and roast whole peppers, turning intermittently, until soft and flavorful. Endless Serving Possibilities Once roasted and marinated, they can become a beautiful antipasto, a topping for bruschetta, or a component in sandwiches and salads. Pair them with creamy cheeses or fresh herbs—they simply shine in any culinary context! Marinate for Flavor Explosion A great way to enhance the flavor of your roasted peppers is to marinate them. Drizzle with high-quality extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and add crushed garlic or herbs. This not only intensifies the taste but also allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Storage Techniques Roasted peppers can easily be stored for week-long enjoyment. Simply place them in an airtight container with a splash of olive oil to preserve their freshness. If you want to keep them longer, freezing roasted peppers is an excellent option—perfect for adding warmth to winter meals! Incorporating roasted peppers into your meals can transform a simple dish into something extraordinary. With their rich flavor profile and versatility, they should certainly have a regular spot in your culinary repertoire. Embrace the magic that these colorful peppers bring to your table! Incorporate Roasted Peppers into Your Lifestyle Next time you're planning a get-together or simply want to treat yourself, consider using roasted peppers. Their bright colors and fantastic flavors can liven up any dish, making healthy eating something to savor rather than endure.
